want to feel like a battery hen??

Destination: Mini Cruises Age: 56-65
Arrived back this morning. We had decided to try a bigger ship as we had only been with Fred Olsen before . Cannot fault the cabin(cheapest available but beautifully fitted out and spacious),food(excellent variety) or entertainment..BUT the noise and the "in your faceness" of the weekend was off putting. Piped music everywhere, constant attempts to get you to spend more money, and at times, the Garden cafe resembled a chicken shed! Good for a weekend, but all 4 of us have come back to our respective homes to finish the day in peace and quiet ..the greenhouse seems a very peaceful place, and the Fred Olsen brochure is beckoning again.
