Cabin: Outside Twin with Balcony and Shower
I'd never fancied a cruise - this was a friend's choice for a "girly weekend away" for us 2 older ladies. I expected to hate every minute - but actually really enjoyed it.
Our cabin was spotless and the beds were really comfortable. The whole experience was so good that we have booked another cruise for the Autumn.
I simply don't understand the poor reviews given by some people regarding the staff/food/bars, etc. All the staff were fantastic: always helpful and cheerful. There were a number of bars, all with different atmospheres. If you don't want karaoke, then there's a lot more to choose from! (We liked The Red Bar, which was quiet and uncrowded.)
Cabin Review
Outside Twin with Balcony and Shower
Spotlessly clean & very spacious. Shower room perfectly adequate.
Only criticism is that the bright green light on the cabin thermostat shone directly into my eyes at night.
Port Reviews
St. Peter Port (Guernsey)
Nothing much to see in St Peter Port that was of interest to us. Visited the Victorian Shop (OK) and the Old Quarter. Thought we'd taken a wrong turn, but apparently the Old Quarter is now just a cobbled street containing mostly boarded-up shopfronts, and little else. Very disappointing.
Otherwise, St Peter Port is a pleasant-enough town (bit steep in places) with the usual high-street chains.
