We chose this round British Isles cruise for the itinerary as it started in Tilbury and we really wanted to see the Isle of Skye, Tobermory and St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly. However, due to various dubious reasons we did not call into these 3 ports which ruined the whole trip.
I do not trust this cruise company, I think they do things cheaply and they do not tell the truth. The boats are tired and worn and the staff looked really miserable.I would not use this company again and I would not recommend them to anyone else. It should be said that you get what you pay for and this cruise did look good, perhaps too good to be true and it is done on the cheap. The food choice in the buffet at times was inedible and cold, I would recommend the restaurant for lunch and dinner, if you can get in.The entertainment is ok and they do their best, but there is not much to do during the day if you are at sea all day.
Since returning I have found many reviews where the boats have not carried out the published itinerary, so I think that is the main problem with this cruise company.
The cabin was a reasonable size, but it was very tired and the windows were filthy. The cabin cleaners do their best,x, but they don't do any creative things with the towels like other better cruise boats do.
We arrived on a Sunday for half a day so there is not much open and not much time to do much. A good museum just by the dock and nice walk up the hill.
Did the red umbrella Tour which was very good
Hired a car online that was there when we docked and went round the island.
Nice views
Hired a car before we arrived and collected from the port, went out and enjoyed a trip to Dunrobin castle
