Review summary

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We were disappointed not seeing Dover but many of the other stops were bucket list destinations for us so we loved the cruise. We had great people at our dining table so it added to the fun. I would recommend this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We got on the ship easily.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our Dining Room Manager Dev was wonderful. Dining was wonderful. Our Waiter Amit and Wine Steward Sophia all exceeded our expectation. I would cruise again just for this dining team. A delight.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools, walking track, the views from all over the ship were incredible.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
While the shows and musicians were spectacular. We felt it could have been a little more seamless. We felt we had to miss many shows as they overlapped many other activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our steward Eron was spectacular. The dining staff Dev, Amit and Sophia rocked everynight.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Good experience however deck and common areas sometime were cluttered with leftovers and rubbish from prior activities.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice, this is an older ship so some wear and tear existed but our steward Eron was spectacular

Ship tip

Closets are small so be careful not to pack too much.

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

5 out of 5
Great spot very easy to get too and port was very modern.

Dover (London), England Did not visit port

This was a pretty big disappoiontment as it was a bucket list spot for me and my wife. There was a mechanical issue and we had to stay an extra day in Amsterdam

Invergordon (Inverness & Loch Ness), Scotland

5 out of 5
Great spot fun to look around Inverness.

Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland

5 out of 5
Beautiful place. Friendly locals and port welcoming team was so helpful and knowledgeable.

Greenock (Glasgow), Scotland

5 out of 5
We went to Glasgow and loved it.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

4 out of 5
The town is spectacular. We were only let down by a vendor called Sight Seeing Belfast. It was a hop on hop off buss but the stops were on side streets and there was no way to tell where the bus would stop. Not a good experience.

Liverpool, England

5 out of 5
Great Spot Great Time

Holyhead, Wales

5 out of 5
