Review summary
This was our first Transatlantic cruise and we booked another one we loved it so much! We thought we were going to be super bored due to it being cold outside but no, there were loads to do inside the ship! The non pressure of booking a shore excursion and getting up early to get off the boat etc was refreshing.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Local Bar & Grill
So great! Our go to for late night dinner and early morning lunch. Only downside is that we ordered the pretzel bites and they were like rocks....could have broken a window with them.
The A-List Bar
Staff was wonderful! I ordered a drink and it was horrific because I forgot I hate vodka and they immediately switched it for a better drink that they recommended!
Maltings Whiskey Bar
This was a good bar, service was lacking though to the point we almost thought we were bothering them.
The District Brew House
Music great! Beers great! Service great! The only thing and I'm not docking them for it is that they ran out of beers and were not replenished due to going into dry dock for weeks.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Excellent steak!!! Nice big and juicy!
The Private Room at Taste
Since Taste alone wasn't on here I shall review it here. It was great just like Savor!
