Great ports of call; great weather, fortunately. A good value. Would recommend it to friends. The food was good and plentiful, and it had a lot of activities to appeal to all sorts of passengers.
Embarkation

A little slow, but understandable with today’s threat of terrorism. Having food available immediately was a nice touch.m
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Mostly, very good. I found most of the fish overcooked. The drink packages seemed overly expensive, and the alcohol packages seemed to encouage people to start drinking early in the day. Wine for breakfast?
I went to the beer tasting event, and two of the beers were Heiniken and Coronna. What planet are the organizers from? Beer tasting is for rather exotic beers, not stuff you can buy at Wal-Mart.
Onboard Activities

I love trivia, but more than once the poor, young shipmate running the program had no idea if the answer on his/paper was right or wrong.
When challenged, thdidn’t know what to do. This was because in two instances, they told us they didn’t have Wi-Fi to Google the answer. Eventually one of these employees told the crowd, if you challenge my answer, you lose all your points! Lovely. The prizes were cheap pens and highlighters. Right answers, or the truth, mean a lot to trivia players. Some got quite frustrated and belligerant with the organizers. I wouldn’t want their job.
Wi-Fi on the ship is ridiculously expensive, about $12.99 a day.
Employer: for Pete’s sake, quit being so damned cheap and provide it to your emploees running the trivia contests. It is simply providing them with the barest tools they need to do the job. This whole thing made Royal Britannia look cheap and miserly.
My wife loved the towell-folding class.

Ship Quality

Employees were always cleaning something. Loved the walking, jogging track on the 10th deck. Great views.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Small, like a European motel room. Very clean. No problems
Found a doughnut shop making donuts out of mashed potatoes! There were twenty people waiting in line to enter the store. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s great to wander about a town and see what you can find.
