Review summary

Had a great time overall! Communication, particularly from the captain, was poor at best. The service, food, drinks, first two stops and the entertainment saved the deal. Whoever handled disembarkment should be reassigned.

If it was the same captain I cruised with in March, yes, he's very hard to comprehend most times that the cruise director had to chime in and translate.
