SCENERY FROM THE SHIP ON SAILING DAY

Low priced cruising 'English style' small ship.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Instead of the usual gorgeous balcony cabin on a 5 or 6 star ship it was a totally budgeted choice.

I can tell you the food on this ship is 6 star and so beautifully presented in their version of a grand dining room that I can't make one single criticism. It was superb in every way from the white linen tablecloths to the service from the sommelier / drinks waiter to the absolutely beautifully presented food which was always tasty and delicious.

Cabin Review

Cabin Standard twin inner

For the lowest priced cabin on the ship the inside cabin was absolutely fine. There was plenty of storage space and more than on some 6 star ships on which I have sailed. The bathroom worked fine and was functional and clean. The toiletries were basic but usable and the pump pack of shampoo was fine too. The twin beds are cute and cosy but for my liking quite hard and my bones suffered the entire journey to the point I was longing to get back into my comfortable bed at home. The cabin was kept immaculately clean at all times. Being in a low and relatively midship position I was thankful during the sail through some of rolling seas. We were also very close to the lifts which made getting around the ship easier.
