Great crew, super activities, food terrific, loved our cabin ( with a balcony)... first time invited to the Concierge Club..... wonderful touch.... That truly says we welcome your business... ( open bar with snacks from 4:45pm to 8:00pm).... bartender Aileen above par.... Passengers were very well traveled and quite interesting... We were also blessed with super weather....Sorry that it had to end!

Taking the ride down in the basket which is steered by two men is a BLAST.... Truly LOVED it..... The botanical gardens to me are a must see.... Loved the Cable Car also...
Don't Miss: The ride in the basket steered by the two men!

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

Lisbon, Portugal

3 out of 5
Not easy to access bathrooms..... could be a PROBLEM.... were there on a Sunday so a lot of things were closed...

Pros: The service.... all staff had super attitudes and we felt that they TRULY CARED about you and wanted you to have a great vacation.

Cons: The excursions ..... getting on and off.... due to the security machine.... If they had two.... so much faster.. Sure it's the COST!!!
