EXCITING stay onboard a LEGENDARY ship!

original ship quirky touch quick check-in polite staff
The Officers Suite was GORGEOUS. SO much of the ship remains original. The portholes are AMAZING and add UNIQUE, quirky touches. They're a definite highlight. Check-in was quick despite our late arrival! Staff IMMEDIATELY made up the sofa bed upon request. EVERYONE was polite and happy to help. The experience felt TRULY special.
The room did not have ANY openable windows. I found this slightly limiting.

The breakfast buffet offered many options, acceptable.
The room I got did NOT match the photos online, a HUGE disappointment. There was noise from an adjoining room all night. I experienced very broken sleep. Upon arrival, no staff member greeted or guided me. The security man at the front door was on his phone..

A Nice Stay Aboard a Historic Vessel

rich history informative tour high-quality food
I enjoyed the opportunity to stay on a ship with such a rich history. The guided tour was very interesting and offered a wealth of information. The breakfast offered high-quality food and a relaxing atmosphere in the Red Lion pub. The bartender provided excellent service.
The air conditioning unit pointed directly at the beds, so I had to make frequent adjustments to avoid discomfort.
