Chose this short cruise as a first cruise to encourage our sister in law to take up cruising. Very Disappointed, sailed out on Wednesday should have gone by tender to St Peter Port on Thursday, only to be told whilst having breakfast that weather (clear skies with clouds wind 15 mph) was too severe to take tenders in or to hold present position. Therefore sailed out to French coast for an extra day at sea. Got the impression that this could be a common occurrence because of weather conditions in this area. I believe that cruise liners should make this information clear to passengers before booking so that passengers can make a choice knowing that they may not be visiting Guernsey and may have an extra day at sea. There is a further impact of not visiting as because of this this ship does not leave EU waters and therefore cannot sell duty free goods Double Disappointment
