This was two ports in Scotland, three in Ireland plus Iceland and Greenland and Fareo islands. The North Atlantic was rough but we endured. We knew the smaller 55 thousand ton ship would have pluses and minuses, so our expectations were met.
PLUSES: No crowded decks. Easy on and off. Well organized excursions. Open seating. Excellent food service. Helpful crew and staff.
MINUSES: Limited entertainment. Smaller cabin. Plenty of bouncing in the seas.
Bow of the ship. Avoid in a rough sea.
