Review summary

I loved this cruise and would highly recommend it to others. The ship was not too big; got to meet a lot of fellow cruisers. The service was impeccable; the cabin was great (window recommended), the ship was clean, entertainment superb, and the ports and excursions were memorable. Celebrated my 70th birthday on this trip; never too old to cruise!!!

Loved the view; we could see where the ship was heading.

Ship tip

Loved the Lido deck for breakfast with its wide variety of food from which to choose; the LaFontaine Exqisite Dining was so special. Liked the fact this was a smaller ship and easy to get around and meet different people. The service was out of this world.

I liked the ship, also and especially the service on board. The crew was wonderful, so friendly and polite. The food was great and we ate in the Pinnacle Grill one night which was terrific. This is our favorite cruise line.
