This cruise had the ports of call we were interested in and left from Southampton so it gave us a chance to spend time with our daughter who now lives in the UK.
Great ports but too many of them pushed in one after the other and a lot of people were very tired after that.. Probably one too many formal nights with only a night or two between the last two.
We were very disappointed that now cruisers are expected to pay for shuttles to the city when ship "elects" to berth further out to decrease port charges, or so we were told. Have never had to pay for this service before.
Cabin was good and we had a wonderful room steward. Had no problems with the plumbing unlike the people in the next cabin who had two overflows - one in the early morning so we woken early to thumping and banging which was not a good thing.
