Mull and her Inlets and Islands - Glen Shiel
Laura Howarth
What a fabulous time we've had on board the Glen Shiel! Everything about our cruise was wonderful, from the friendliness of the staff when we arrived to the minute we disembarked.
Skipper Graham discussed with us where we would like to go and created an itinerary around the wishes of the guests and the weather forecast. He loved having visitors on the bridge and was happy to guide those who were interested in having a go on the wheel, great fun! Chef Neil worked from dawn till dusk every day creating the most amazing meals, plus home baked biscuits and incredible cakes, I've come back half a stone heavier but oh it was so worth it! Neil - you are a culinary genius. It was great that guests' dietary needs and dislikes were carefully considered and delicious alternatives offered. Our steward Celeste was tireless in keeping the ship clean and tidy, plus helping with meal service and creating fabulous cocktails in the evening - on top of that she helped the engineer Keelan with transferring guests to shore and back on the tender boat. You all worked incredibly hard to ensure we all had a great time.
Highlights - a golden eagle circling over the ship, seeing the puffins on Lunga, Iona, the scenery, everything really! For anyone thinking about booking a cruise with The Majestic Line I heartily recommend going ahead. We're already looking at next year!
