Enchanted Princess, Northern Europe
4
The pre-embarkation formalities re Covid tets, the almost obligatory Medallion Class apps on Smartphones were so onerous that we nearly cancelled2 weeks before sailing! But we DID enjoy the cruise itself, despite the very mixed weather with rain, low temperatures, and high winds preventing us landing at Guernsey, which was VERY disappointing as we had arranged to meet friends there. (Le Havrs wasa poor substitute ).
Bilbao was even better than I had hoped, but it was cut short by a 3.30p.m. sailing. So we hope to return one day to explore properly.
The evening entertainment was even better than usual , with the 3 main ticketed shows delightig the audience, especially Katherine Jenkins, who really WOWED us!! Full marks to Imagine Cruising for arranging the performances and ticketing so well.
Sadly, the Rail Strike made the disembarkation a nightmare as the few taxis could not cope with the demands of people needing to get to the rail and coach stations. However this was not Princess Cruises' fault, and a sensible Security Officer radio=ed the Taxi HQ for help, and the response was immediate.
