Having read many cruise reviews and agree everyone's points are valid, here is my review of our 14 night cruise round the Caribbean.
We stayed the night before at Premier Inn Gatwick north and have stayed there many times. You get what you have paid for, very clean tidy and comfy beds.
We planned to leave the hotel at 7am as our flight wasn't until 11:10. Over night I received a email from Gatwick informing me my flight had been delayed. This was only a short delay and we took off about 12:45. We paid to be upgraded to premium seating, this was £175 each way. Being a tall guy, it was worth it. The service out was good films we good.
