Sail Date: Dec 2016
Cabin:

We thought this was a cruise. It turned out being a ferry pretending to be a cruise ship.

Countless stops during the night very noisy dont book cabin 723 above cargo hold if you want some sleep.No on board lectures, entertainment.Communications via tannoy system poor Breakfast & Lunch buffets OK, for dinner 3 course no choice if you didn't like what was served tough luck.

The cabin 723 was fairly spacious, good picture window, very comfortable beds & wet bathroom but noisy.The cost of trips when they were run extremely expensive & poor value. As expected price of drinks very high a beer £9 wine £50 approx.On the 8th deck which was open to the elements no attempt was made to clear the ice & snow thus making the surface like an ice rink.
