Brief Transatlantic/Baltic review

Transatlantic, a very smooth crossing for the most part, plenty to do on board, the Cruise Director was Peter Tredgett and he was really great, always around, friendly and always ready to stop and chat, I have never met him before or indeed heard anything about him but he definitely goes to the top of the list.

We are not people for taking too many organized tours, much preferring either to do something specific that we have sorted out or just to sit and people watch, we were extremely lucky to have a destination lecturer, John Lawrence, he joined the ship in the Azores, but his talk for the Azores was on the television before we got there, a brilliant idea. His knowledge for this trip absolutely made our cruise. We had read a few travel books to get ideas of how to get around but found that they weren't entirely accurate, he put us right and was spot on everywhere. Also great to talk to and very funny. We bought the DVD that he has for the Baltic region and really wish that we had bought it before we came on the cruise. Read more
