Firstly the notification regarding the deviation to the schedule of ports to be visited and where the new pick up was - was very late coming. I had to do most of the chasing and calls whilst I was in Amsterdam the day before the cruise embarked. This caused a lot of anxiety and could have been avoided if a decision was made much earlier in the week. Plus it caused a lot of negative conversation amongst other passengers. However, Agnes delivered those changes to a tough crowd and was most professional in the way she handled the complaints and organised a new schedule at such short notice. Overall - I enjoyed all the ports visited, particularly the smaller villages. However, the demographic on board the cruise was older than I would have liked which made it harder to converse with some of them at times. Some guests were not overly welcoming either. As a solo traveller - meal times were very awkward there was no table allocated just for the single travellers, which helps to overcome potential embarrassing moments/ and helps other single travellers to meet. I was initially told by a previous passenger that this happened on her cruise - so I felt at ease expecting to be the same on this cruise.Show more
