Review summary

It was impressive that you could clean your hands at all times. Except for one show, the jugglers, the shows were all 1st class. Shore excursions had busses that were too crowded. Also one one excursion a 95 yr old man had to be helped by Ed to and from the glass bottom boat. The tour guides not only should have helped on the dock but should not have allowed him to go on this trip.
