This was our second cruise on the Ocean Princess, this time a short cruise around Britain. The ship is well maintained and very clean - almost all the staff are incredibly helpful and always have smiles on their faces. We like the small ships where you can find your way around almost immediately.

The food is generally good - better than last year we thought. Unusually for us we ate in the buffet a number of times - compared to larger ships it is much calmer and the food is good with a reasonable choice.

We had a restricted view outside cabin which we liked. Although small the layout means there is sufficient space and appears to be much bigger than an inside we had on the Oriana. The view was very restricted, there is a lifeboat outside but it has plain glass windows so the room gets some light - some of the lifeboats' windows are covered in orange giving the cabins an orange glow! Deck 6 is quite quiet although I think there could be some noise from the Casino at times - it was normally shut on our cruise and not an issue. Read more
