We wanted to go on this cruise as it was going to the Military tattoo in Scotland and also to Ireland. I can only say that getting off and getting back on board was awful we have never had a cruise like it before, they only ever opened one place to disembark etc. Coming from the Tattoo we had to wait two hours in a very long line before we could get back on board which made it 2am. The shows were mostly vocalist which after a while got on our nerves, you get the dancers on other ship dancing a few times but not on this cruise we only saw them twice. We felt this was not very good entertainment always having people singing. The captain was very funny and told jokes and the staff were a friendly bunch. We found that you don't need to have the excursions, we made our own way around places and saved a lot of money that way.
