- Sail Date: Aug 2017
- Destination: the British Isles & Western Europe
- Cabin Type: Deluxe Veranda 2D
We chose this cruise for the Itinerary and the Royal Tattoo. The ports of call were wonderful and the private tours that we arranged with our fellow cruisemates were so enriching and fun. It was our first visit to Amsterdam and we really enjoyed the vid and countryside We stayed at Banks Mansion, a wonderful all inclusive hotel.
We had great weather for all but two days, and thanks to all the helpful suggestions of fellow cruise critics on our roll call, we were prepared. I highly recommend this cruise and ship. We had select dining and Mr Bill a member of our roll call, organized our dining experiences. We dined at Lawn Club Grill on two occasions, we all really enjoyed the food, the service and the fun. We also had a table of 12 at Quisine one evening. Then, there was Tuscan grill, food and service were all fabulous. The remaining evenings we had a set table for twelve and enjoyed the splendid food and service of our waitstaff, Alex was took such good care of us. I highly recommend this cruise and ship.
Cabin Review
The cabin was roomy with plenty of storage. Although the lifeboat was below our veranda, we still enjoyed the view of the water and our ports of call. Pedro, our room attendant, was excellent. We had great weather for all but two days, and thanks to all the helpful suggestions of fellow cruise critics on our roll call, we were prepared. I highly recommend this cruise and ship.

View All undefined undefined ReviewsCork/Blarney Castle/Kinsale. Was very disappoint4d. We had bought tickets for the castle not indexing to kiss the stone. It started to ;pour rain and when we got to the line for entrance to the castle we were told it would be 101/2 hours to the entrance and at least 1 hour once inside. We only had two hours. So, we went back to the ticket office and asked and asked for and received a refund.
We arranged a private van from the port and did this beautiful city on our own. One of my favorite sports, ever. We hiked to the windmills, took a canalboat tour, shopped, explored and had lunch at de halve mean. We shopped some more (chocolate) and topped the day off with a delicious belgian waffle
