Review summary

It's been about 15 years since I took a cruise as I took my small children then and have been hesitant since then. I had heard that the cruise services declined, but the ship crew and dining room experiences were excellent to outstanding. The crew was attentive and friendly and made you feel special by remembering your names. The ports and excursions were all excellent with good guides. My only negative is that I have to do work e-mail daily and at the rate of 0.5 to 1-2 speed on satellite the rates were very expensive and I could not download large attachments. I wish there had been some warning about this as made it very difficult to continue working.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Dining service very good and buffets are buffets...

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We didn't attend most entertainment except the lectures "Beyond the Podium" by naturalist and these were entertaining and informative. Would have liked more information on the cinema features as had never heard of many.

Service and Staff

They were friendly under all circumstances.

Ship Quality
