Review summary

This was the best ever cruise. The staff seems to like their jobs and did not appear to be going thru the motions. Our balcony room had plenty of storage for our 12 days of cruise clothes. We were told the longer cruises were the best, that you finally relax and get into a routine after the 7th day. Yes it is true. I will not be afraid of being at sea for 5 days or longer.

Kukoo Konuko bus was really fun!!!!(even for our 50 something group).Took an ABC Jeep tour that we booked privately (not thru the cruise ship). It was not the best as they have 1 tour guide with multiple jeeps being driven by an average Joe like you and me with who knows what kind of experience driving over steep rocky terrain....we didn't feel too safe. No one had a clue what the street signs meant either... When we signed a waiver, we didn't know we were not with a professional driver. The scenery was Great but the fear factor was high..

They have overhauled the whole place. They are building a new gondola lift. It is worth it to go to shore.
