Review summary

Our concern was the length of this cruise. But we were on the go the entire time. Rested well the entire cruise even with rough seas. The jewelry staff was very friendly and helpful the entire cruise. Ashford is Great. Mikey was one of the best cruise directors we have experienced. Understood what he said!

We had Mikey as our Cruise Director last yr from 6/8-6/16 and he was fantastic with full of energy. No one is too old for entertainment and we had a blast. Each night after the show we went to the atrium where he had his extra night time fun with the guest. Music Trivia was so great, 80's music and more. You make the cruise the best on a vacation.
