The trip was absolutely wonderfulÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ The cruise ship was a little bit on the older side compared to the other ships that we passed through on debarkation each dayÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ The tour guide was excellentÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ She couldn't have been any better. Our booking agent kind of dropped us and never wanted to talk to us after we booked.Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ She could've been a little bit nicer and willing to help with our questions.Show more

Everything was amazing! British airlines is a little bit tight for such a long flight. It seems there should be more legroom for ability to move around. The MS Mayfair was a little bit on the older side compared to the other ships that we disembarked as we walk throughÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ They were much more elegant than the MS Mayflower. Although the stuff on the Mayflower was amazing, and our tour guide was excellentÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ The excursions were amazing! So I was very pleased. It was fast paced and not for the faint of heart for sureÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ A 2 o'clock wake up call was a little bit out of my comfort zone but I understand why! Our booking agent kind of dropped us once we booked and didn't want to talk to us about any concerns we had prior to the actual tour.Show more
