The staffs were professional and friendly. Paja and others made our stayed and our 10 years wedding anniversary glorious.
The cabin was cool and compact. It sloped down towards the porthole which was a bit disconcerting. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was par excellence.

Excellent stay with very attentive and friendly staff!
The Fingal is a real gem, such a different hotel experience, it’s like being swept back to the days of the titanic, without the fear of an iceberg ! The staff were amazing, and really went out of their way to accommodate us, despite us being late for dinner. Can’t thank the hotel team enough it was an amazing experience.

Room was spotless, staff went above and beyond to make stay great. Lovely little classy touch’s like personalised notes to welcome us for my partners birthday. A touch of class.
A beautiful ship, amazing food, everything is really clean and comfortable - a great experience. Some really exceptional team members and we are looking forward to returning at some point!
Felt really comfortable, staff friendliness was exceptional, the ambience was just perfect, the staff took time out to speak to you, and the food and accommodation were excellent, would certainly return and take no hesitation on letting everyone we know, how wonderful our staff was
From start to finish we were treated like royalty. Every member of staff was really polite and lovely. The food was incredible. Outstanding breakfast. Beautiful room with a huge comfy bed. We couldn't ask for better.
