Very much enjoyed the cruise. Be forewarned....on this cruise the average age appeared to be 70+. My wife and I are in our early 50's and (I believe!) were some of the youngest on board. If you are looking to "party" all night, probably not your ship.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
As always, spot on with embarkation. Short lines, no issues.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We were in the Princess Grill, but on occasion went to the buffets. Food and service was great.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We utilized the spa on a daily basis. Buy the package at the beginning of the cruise if you like using the sauna, whirlpool, etc.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
By and large the stage shows were good. Had one comedy routine that we just did not get and we normally like British humor.
Children's Programs
Did not bring kids on this one.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service on board is second to none. Polite, accommodating....there when you need them, not in the way when you don''t need them.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Common areas were cleaned on an on-going basis....never saw any unclean portions of the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
In the Princess Suite. Size is roughly the same as a standard stateroom, but it has a bathtub which my wife wanted. Clean and more than enough room for the two of us.
You dock in Greenock.....A city that has, perhaps, seen better days. Having said that, the people were quite friendly and we enjoyed walking the city. You have to take the bus to Glasgow....We did not.
We did the excursion to the Italian Chapel in Scapa Flow and also toured the Highland Park distillery. Enjoyed them both. The Italian Chapel (made by Italian prisoners of war in WWII) is something to see.
