Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Pretty good. Some hits and some misses. Sabatini experience was great atmosphere but only OK on the food.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Mostly typical cruise entertainment. Met expectations. Piano man Tom Florek, however, is not to be missed.

Service and Staff

Everything kept clean and orderly

Cabin / Stateroom

Can't beat an upgrade from an AA mini-suite to a full suite, with its attendant perks.

Tubing on the river. Van to the launch site took us through some interesting, non-tourist areas. Shopping areas were nothing to write home about.

Volcano photo tour. Spent way, way too much time on the bus. Try getting a private guide instead.
