Review summary

Other than the following three items this was a great trip equal to or better than any of the 14 other cruises we have enjoyed.

1. We booked a suite for the luxury and privacy-due to no soundproofing on suite door we could not go to sleep till after the music stopped about 11:45.

2. The Ivanhoe theater entertainment was reduced to a "staff only" cast rather than varied hired entertainers as in prior years.

3. Over the last three years in an obvious attempt to cut costs the assortment of food in both the dining room and buffet was greatly reduced, however, all food was tasty and well prepared.

Cabin / Stateroom

The accommodations were great-the room was poorly insulated against sound coming from the hall and common areas. I could tell them how to fix it for about $25.00 per cabin.
