We chose this cruise because we've wanted to do a British Isles cruise for a long time, and found this at a great price. The ship is beautiful. We love the small ships, so any opportunity to sail on a small ship, we're going for it. Embarkation couldn't have been easier -- we just walked right through! Our cabin was laid out a little differently than on most other ships, and we loved it. The location (4012) was perfect. So easy to get to wherever we wanted to go. As usual the food was wonderful. We were wait-listed for early dining, but we were able to get a table at early dining once we got on the ship, which was great. It was different having the shows in the Lounge rather than the Princess Theater, but we really liked it. The production shows were really great. The singers and dancers did a terrific job. We hit some bad weather, but our captain was terrific. He continually made announcements letting us know what was happening and even had a presentation in the Lounge one night to give us more details. He had anticipated the storm and was already prepared for it. We had to miss one port, but another was substituted. As always, the service was always great. Our Head Waiter, Nelson, knew all our names by the 2nd night, and made a point of calling us by name whenever he saw us -- amazing! Can't think of anything to complain about!
