Well, back home now, cruise over.
I’ve got to say though, it was one of the best cruises we’ve been on. Funnily enough, it’s the only cruise I’ve ever been on where all the ports were in the same country. The weather was kind for us - it was supposed to be raining every day but we had the most glorious weather. Until last night. **** me, it was like being a cork in a giant washing machine and at one point, I really thought we’d hit another ship. Such a crash, I was only half asleep but it woke me right up. Wifey says it was the ship crashing down after cresting a particularly large wave somewhere in the English Channel. It wasn’t a small ship either!
Here’s the wife on our balcony to give you an idea of the size.
The food in the main restaurants was of a very high standard but the speciality restaurants (surcharge payable) was just something else.
Some people say they can be like holiday camps and to a certain degree some of them can be but there’s plenty of quiet places to go and if you can afford it, the extra price for a balcony suite is worth the extra in my view as you can just sit there and watch the world go by. There was plenty to do, something for everyone. One day we visited a glacier.
Here a sample programme of the goings on on one of the days.
Like others, I was apprehensive about taking our first cruise many years ago but all I can say is, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
