I do not think I would wish to travel on this ship when it becomes Royal Princess Metcalfe of Wetherby. I have nothing against Ameicans generally but they do tend to 'eat' and trash the refinement of dining and Princess Line, unlike the Minervas, will be full of them. I favour Mrs McLeod's viewpoint. Swan Hellenic always was thinking man's cruising and I've cruised on both their ships

We could not disagree more and we were on the same cruise. Food was no better than average, most of the waiting staff would have to pull their socks up on other lines, entertainment was non existent and some of that was abysmal ie an opera singer who would struggle in a local church choir. Some of the passengers ie the hardened Swanners who have never tried another line, were downright rude. Sorry to see it go, no. Try it when it reappears as Royal Princess and see the difference
