Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise very much. I like the pampering feeling in the cruise. You do nothing !! Thanks for the memories.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very fast, The walking distance was a little long for us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room was good and all the waiters and assistants were great! The food was very nicely presented and the a nice variety to chose from

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
It was cold and rainy. No activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were good but no much variety. All single singers that were good but too much singing in an hour. The show we liked was of an entertainer who made us laugh. The ship performers were good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward was excellent and always pending of our needs. He kept our room perfect all the time. The waiters at the El Cafe were very efficient because they always have a big line to take care of but never to make you to wait to much. Charming The ship personnel and waiters all around were all smiles and courteous at all times. We appreciate that.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was sparkling at all times. Our only concern and will try to make it like a suggestion is that at the Ocean Cafe the different eating sections should be color recognizable. You get a table, you go to the center, you go around looking for the food selection and when you are done, you are disoriented and start walking in circles looking for a clue as to where your table is. If you seat at a table in section blue, you won't look for your table on the green section.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was very nice and always very clean as it was the bathroom. The space to keep your cloth was very limited. There were two spaces on top of our bed, but very hard to reach to it and store your cloth.

Ship tip

Don't go if you don't want to have a nice trip

Ports of call

St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands Did not visit port

Cancelled for bad weather.

Cobh (Cork), Ireland

3 out of 5
Yes we took an excursion. No big deal and the excursion was very short. The guide didn't give us enough time at the shopping place and we couldn't get down to see the important places. '

Dublin, Ireland

3 out of 5
We took an excursion and the sightseeing was very short and no shopping either. We were planning to go the following day on our own but the departing time was shortened and we couldn't go

Akureyri, Iceland

4 out of 5
We took an excursion. Again, short and didn't have time to walk around, but a beautiful place.

Reykjavik, Iceland

4 out of 5
Excursion. In this one at least we were able to go down the bus to take pictures of the Cathedral on the outside and we visited the Perlan museum where we got wi-fi and were able to call home. They took to a Botanic Garden where there was nothing because all the flowers were dead !!! We went to see the waterfalls, beautiful but again, everything in a rush.

Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland

4 out of 5
The port is very colorful. The tour was around the place on the outskirt and we saw a lot of sheeps, no time to get off. After the tour we had some time to get a tender back to the ship but at the pier there is not much to do.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Very difficult for us. When you take your baggage cart and go to where the bags are, there is no one to help you to put your bags in the cart. We had to struggle to put them in the cart.

Love your idea of color coding the seating at the buffet! We have had the same problem on almost every ship we have been on.
