My wife and I have cruised many times but always stayed in and around the U.S. We have been on both sides of the country then up to Canada on both sides. We decided to head to Europe for this cruise and, I really want to tell ya, I will never cruise around and about America as long as there are cruises like this one to England, Scotland, Norway and Iceland! It was fantastic and the timing was perfect. We left the end of May through the first week of June.
We had a little fear of a two week cruise, because all of our other trips were a week. Also, this one was in a bit cooler climate. I will admit that choosing the best choice we made was an inside cabin. The sun set at 3 AM and rose at 4:45 AM daily and the darkness of the room kept us sane!
The staff on the ship was fantastic, much more pleasant than on the other cruises with the dining staff and the room stewards being the best to grant all of our wishes. The entertainment was so top notch, that every show was perfect and i often wondered why they were on a ship when they should all be on Broadway.
Perfect for the darkness during this time of year. and plenty of room for the two of us!
