Cabin: Penthouse Suite

We have been to London many times, but have not been around the British Isles very much. We read the reviews and looked at the brochures and felt we would have great time. The first issue was the WiFi, speed less than 1Mbps and often down, despite the recent "upgrades" A lot of people on the ship complained, but all we were give was excuses. The food was very good and decor nicely decorated. Cabins (Penthouse) a little smaller that we are use to, but the service was very poor. The tours from the ship were poorly handled and some of them involved a two hour bus ride to see the remnants of a roman wall or fort. Best tours were in Ireland and Scotland. The entertainment was poor to okay. It appears you have to go to the larger ships for entertainment, but that's not as important as the overall service which suffered.

Cabin Review

Penthouse Suite

Cabin PH3

Nice decor and a well designed closet. The step up into the bathroom gets so use to, especially at night. Space was cozy, but adequate for this type of cruise

Took transport to Glasgow, interesting.

Cobh (Cork)

Great tour of the area and wonderful insight into Irish whiskey. The tour guide was wonderful and had a great sense of humor
