Balmoral, UK and Ireland

This was a tiny round the islands cruise to get us back into cruising after COVID. Everything was great apart from the long delays on embarkation caused by car park queuing and testing. There were profuse apologies but it did mean that we did not get on board until early evening and to add insult to injury , having hurried to Lifeboat drill, there were no staff on duty, and we were called back later like naughty children!
However after that all was as good as ever. We dined in the Spey restaurant (up top) and it was superb, with wonderful evening sunset views for late sitting dinner.
The staff were good though English comprehension was limited sometimes, but I gather 75% of the crew were new so a few hiccups could be expected.
Trips were good, though not cheap, but then UK is expensive!
Overall a happy experience and our next cruise is in the pipeline!
