“
Probably one of the best holidays I have ever had. From booking to travelling, the itinerary and connections through to the locations of the hotels and the ship, it was fantastic. Even my husband agreed (which is very unusual!).
”
SHEILA & ROBERT LAMMIE, GLASGOW
“
We had a fabulous holiday with great ports of call, especially San Diego which is a beautiful city. Additionally our 3 nights in San Francisco and Las Vegas were both in superb hotels in superb locations. Our ship, Grand Princess was a lovely base for the cruise itself and we’ll certainly sail with them again in the future.
”
STEVE & CHRISTINE WHITE, ROSSENDALE
“
This was an excellent relaxing cruise going into many interesting destinations including large cities such as Boston, Halifax and Quebec City and smaller locations eg Bar Harbor and Saguenay. The boat was well appointed with good food, excellent cabin service and a reasonable range of shows.
