Review summary

This being our first cruise, we can't make comparison to other cruises, but our overall impression was there was a high degree of attention payed to all aspects of the running of the ship. Our room was wonderful, with a big deck (paid extra) all was kept very clean. The meals in general were good to excellent, though sedate in taste. Our three complaints would be not enough onboard activities or entertainment, too few items of exercise equipment resulted in frequent waits, and the dis-embarkment was a total fiasco. The port didn't have enough staff, only 3 customs officers for thousands of people, not enougjh taxis or shuttle busses - resulting in about a 2 hour process from the time we left the ship to the time we got in a cab!
