Probably the most disappointing cruise we have ever been on.

No explanation as to why the Faroe Islands was taken off the itinerary.

In the middle of summer we were unable to dock in the Shetland Islands or Holyhead.

Holyhead should never have been included in the itinerary as it is hard to imagine that any tender would be able to operate there without problem.

No port talks or any written information on the ports visited was available.

Speciality restaurants closed, a massive disappointment.

Food average overall.

Had to take part finished bottles of wine back to cabin after dinner.

Wearing of masks due to Covid became compulsory which was disappointing though understandable in view of the number of people who must have caught it.

On plus side all the staff worked hard and were very attentive.

In the present circumstances we would not recommend anyone to cruise at the moment and we have been cruising since 2003.
