Hebridean Princess If it's good enough for the Queen... by delavalliere Our first dinner on board was a wonderful precursor of the culinary delights ahead of us. At least two choices per course (3 for the main course: meat, fish or vegetarian), with coffee & petits fours served upstairs in the Tiree Lounge afterwards.

The lounges and showrooms are comfortable with exception of the browsing area which could be more comfortable if you want a quiet area to read. One of the lounges doubles up during the day as a very nice coffee lounge. Continue reading... First Cruise but Hopefully Not the Last
