Only got 30 minutes in Edinburgh because our driver did not know how to work the air conditioner and had to call the garage to get assistance and had never driven in Edinburgh so took wrong street and long way around

We found Lerwick very interesting, like a backdrop of a medieval novel. Had lovely lunch of fish and chips, walked around the island.

Thanks for your review. Did you choose a cabin over the lounge or did you let them choose it for you? If you’re really bothered by noise always make sure you only have passenger cabins on the decks above and below you and no public areas like restaurants, bars, fitness centres or pools.
