Greenland and Iceland were both on Sally's 'bucket list', so with me, Andrew & Angie, this would also mark her long-awaited return to cruising following the loss of Frank in 2019.
Sadly, because of pack-ice, we never made either of our ports in Greenland and because of adverse weather, we also missed the stop in Newfoundland, instead calling
at Sydney, Cape Breton Island (where all of us but Angie had been previously in 2012). We had a few niggles about the ship too, especially the pool hours (for me at least) and the head of Guest Services,
who did not get off on the right foot with us from day-1!
However, completely unsolicited and within a week of returning home, we each had a Future Cruise Credit of £950 to play with - which is more than you expect from most other cruise lines, so.....
