Review summary

Not my style. It was interesting to see how the Brits enjoy themselves but all in all it was a very old crowd. First and last time for me. The wifi was very expensive and extremely poor.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

lots of lines, lots of confusion

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was good; very British and a bit too fancy for me.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Did not find suitable activities outside of swimming

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Shows were good; a little uneven. Some shows better than others. Not alot of sparkle. Some of the male singers were awful

Ship tip

Very sedate; lots of waltzing. I did find that some of the Brits didn't really care for Americans.

Disembarkation

Communication! Had no idea the original schedule was suddenly changed. Make important announcements in the staterooms.

I have the Queen Mary 2 booked (a few different cruises actually), and I'll just stay low key like I do when I travel anywhere and don't let on where I'm originally from :) And I actually booked this cruises to avoid the riff-raff from other cruise ships. So, I guess I'll take the old people. lol

Yeah US Citizens get the rug in many countries. In some ways I'm glad I'm a Black American, because I've noticed we don't seem to get that treatment. 🤷🏿‍♂️

If you keep traveling you will find out that a lot of other nationalities don't care for Americans. Prior to 1950, Americans were considered industrious and inventive. Now we are thought of as gullible, greedy complainers.
