Cabin: Balcony, sheltered

Our second crossing lived up to and even surpassed our good memories of the first. Embarkation in Southampton was substantially improved from the first time. We arrived and were on board in what seemed like minutes. Very efficient.

We had been upgraded to an obstructed cabin – likely a benefit of crossing in November. The extra space for the love seat was enjoyable and we even went out to stand in the fresh air occasionally. The upgrade did seem to cause two minor glitches – our dining time was changed to late dining and the computer lost that we were second time cruisers. Minor stuff.

Room steward was competent and unobtrusive. Was hopeful in King’s Court buffet that service had improved when we were handed tray and cutlery by staff the first day. But that ended quickly and it returned to entirely self-service with slow clearing of tables. This should be an easy fix with some attention since there appears to be lots of staff in King’s Court. Let me hasten to add that service in Britannia, Chart Room, Commodore Lounge and Sir Samuel’s was great. Our waiters and wine steward were professional, prompt and courteous.

Highly recommend for winter crossings. The sheltered balcony is protected from the elements but still offers a breath of fresh air. Continue to be impressed by the spacious and elegant bathroom.
