Review summary

The ports visited were the deciding factor to book this cruise. We enjoyed the ports but the down side was the ship embarked and debarked approximately 750 passengers both in Hamburg and Kiel. This caused problems with Immigration when returning to Southampton and it also disrupted the flow of the cruise. Not so bad at Hamburg but in Kiel you had new passengers acquainting themselves with their surroundings while the other passengers had settled into a relaxing routine.

 

The ship is beautiful, food and service were great, entertainment disappointing.

Our next cruise stops off at Rotterdam so presumably we will have the same problem

I agree with the comment about the passengers coming on board. But we enjoyed the entertainment in the main although thought the singers and dancers were not the usual Cunard high standard.
