This was our first-time ever on the Chesapeake Bay, and it won't be our last as there are just SO MANY excursions available...and not enough time. Unfortunately, a "once in a lifetime" winter storm hindered our willingness to venture out in the cold. It was safe, snug, and warm on board; and we spent a lot of time just enjoying the ship. Special kudos to Cruise Director Chris Roby for keeping us entertained throughout the days, and to Hotel General Manager Bill Cummings for always checking to be sure we were enjoying our voyage. All in all, a wonderful way to enjoy the Christmas/New Year's holidays.

Cabin 206: We always appreciate the roominess of the bathroom. Plenty of storage space and easy access to all activities.
Visited then Military Aviation Museum Exploration: A must-see for any history buff. Incredible collection of planes from World War I and World War II.
Also the Winterfest on the USS Wisconsin was a sight to behold.
