The itinerary determined our cruise. The food was moderate to poor. One evening I ordered beef wellington and it was not eatable. The entertainment was good. The cruise was crowded. The service on the cruise was sad, the workers obviously did not want to be there and were not ever cheerful. It was our last attempt at cruising. We left the ship every day for pre-planned (not ship related) tours and had a great time. Coming back was dreary. Advise, spend a little more on a more upscale cruise.

Our room was a typical cruise room, small, cramped but adequate. The views of the Hebrides were amazing. Scotland, and Ireland are among the most scenic places on earth. THey are steeped in history that is relavant to today's world. London has great museums, nightlife and shopping. Travel, learn, enjoy.
