This supposed "Jubilee Cruise" around Great Britain was absolutely awful. It was pitched as celebrating the Jubilee but there was nothing on board to show that, other than a couple of ex-staffers promoting their books.

The restaurant staff, predominantly Indian, were generally surly and rude.

We sailed a day late due to mechanical problems and accordingly missed a key stop in Edinburgh.
