We had a great time. I will take it again. I didn't enjoy the spa, I booked a pedicure that was supposed to be 45 min and it only lasted 18 minutes, it was the fastes pedicure I've had.

I would have enjoyed an adult only FREE solarium, especially when going to Iceland, where is cold even during summer.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the comedy, production and a singer that was from Vegas I can't recall his name he was an impressionist singer. He was the best.

It was small, especially the bathroom's shower. It was very clean.

Ship tip

Bring hiking shoes, you will be waking some miles everyday in a very uneven terrain. Bring a winter coat, gloves, scarf, and an umbrella; it gets cold, rainy and windy. Rest during sea days, wake up late and go to bed early. Do not book excursions on board. Iceland is very expensive.

Reykjavik, Iceland

5 out of 5
This was one of my favorite ports. Free bussing to the town's center. Reasonably priced excursions from the information desk inside the museum. People were so nice and friendly. However, one day is not enough, there so many wonders to see.
