Is there a dress code on board like the cruise ships or is it just smart casual.

Good Morning Bernard007,

There is no dress code on board the cruise ships.

Kindest Regards,

The ship used for this trip is very small - just 20 or so cabins solely for JY customers. You can dress as smart or as casually as you like. It’s a fantastic trip, I’m sure you’ll have a lovely time.

Hi! Just booked this trip next May. I've booked a lower deck cabin but would love to hear what the benefits of having one on the main or top deck. I think the lower deck might be quieter but I've still got time to change as there is still availablity

Hi Lornamary,

The main deck and upper deck cabins are all on deck cabins, with outside entrances. The only difference is that some are on the main deck (where you enter the ship from mainland), together with the salon/restaurant area, and some are on the upper deck.

For the main deck and upper deck cabins, the cabin sizes are slightly larger (3x3 m cabin size, without bathroom).

The lower cabins are a bit quitter than the rest of the cabins.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Amy

I did a similar trip 2 years ago but in a different ship.   I had a lower deck cabin and found the size perfectly OK.   The cabin had a porthole and the door led into a corridor.   Those on the upper decks had windows and doors which opened out onto the deck and some of them were not happy when we were moored next to another ship because they had to keep their curtains closed whereas, with a porthole fairly high up, I wasn't overlooked.   The only disadvantage of the bottom deck could be that when the engine starts up early in the morning you can hear it!   It didn't bother me because I always take ear plugs and just came to, realised what it was and went back to sleep again but one or two folk grumbled like mad and said they had never had this problem when on an ocean cruise with P&O or Cunard!

So the choice is yours!

Have a lovely holiday - mine had a slightly different title but basically the same itinerary and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The problem with the lower cabins is that you may get woken by the engine noise. As you frequently set off at dawn I spent quite a few mornings watching the sun come up as I couldn’t get back to sleep. If you have any mobility problems go for the other decks - you have very steep stairs which you need to descend backwards down. If I went again and had a choice I would go upper but having said that if I had no choice it wouldn’t stop me from going on what was a fantastic trip.

Hope this helps.
