What a great experience to sail on this beauty. Small on size but not on service, comfort and friendship. The ship is beautifully clean, cabins more than adequate, and food great all round. Very easy to negotiate every level with 4 lifts and stairs of course. Cabin levels are altogether and very quiet.

Appointments in all areas were well maintained and very comfortable. Lots of quiet places to just read (there is also a library), enjoy the views or of course many activities to keep busy if needed. All communications on Princess Patter each day were good, although passport requirements at some shore excursions were confusing if not read in detail and nor were passengers checked to have passports when leaving the ship. This caused some confusion when returning abroad at Amsterdam, and did cause some distress for elderly passengers.The entertainment shows were very professional and dancers were also on duty to help with trivia, disembarkation etc. The theatre does have one drawback in that it is often hard to see due to there not being terraced seating but this is not a criticism as room multipurpose too. Other entertainment spots were great and the Piano/Music man Adam James was fantastic with his large repertoire of music each night in the Casino Lounge. Packed out each night !! Food was 1st class everywhere as was the wait staff. Kiza in Buffet/Seated Dining was good fun, great personality and very eager to help. Bar staff were also so very friendly, Carla in Casino Bar in particular and as it is such an intimate ship very easy to feel at home and welcomed by all. Staff Always had a smile, an "Hello" or "Have you enjoyed your day" as well as "Welcome Back" as we returned from Shore Visits.

Our Cabin Steward Agnello was such a lovey young man, always smiling, very enthusiastic, and our towel sculptures made us feel so special too.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BB

Great position,away from lift noise etc, not full deck due to life boats and very quiet.Cabin was forward so a little liable to sea conditions if passengers were sensitive to movement, we loved it !!! Laundry on another level which was good. Closet was small but well appointed but cause problems with elderly or disabled passengers. Storage was excellent.
