The itinerary was the best part of the trip.  The stops provided a glimpse of many locations in London, Ireland, Scotland and Paris.  A great way to see many locations in 12 days.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food not too adventurous, not as many options as on previous travels on cruise ships, main dining room. Really need to have a coffee area providing complimentary coffee. Understand specialty coffee charges, but basic coffee should be complimentary and available, other than in dining rooms

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not a lot of various options, yet we were busy most days off ship, so it was ok

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Really geared to an older crowd

Children's Programs

We didn't travel with children, yet if we had, we'd have been disappointed, not many programs for little ones

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service by all staff

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship pretty basic, not a lot of bells and whistles.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great inside room. We liked our room steward, we didn't make many requests, but when we did, he was right there providing help. (we asked for wine glasses in our room, on a daily basis)

We did this last year and it was very intense with many ports to see. But we learned so much about that part of the world!
