Review summary

It was worth every minute and penny spent. Very port intensive ... do your research on each port before so as you make the most of every port and every day

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Seemless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I was less than impressed with the buffet, and pleased with the main dining

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The amenities where there, alive and well, but the weather wasnt. The cruise was very port intensive so we were not left with much time for onboard activities

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Again, way too busy in port every day that we didnt have much time left to enjoy any entertainment.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

No real complaints, service was very good, but the staff seemed exhausted.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was a typical balcony cabin. Everything was clean and in good repair and working order

Ports of call

Le Havre (Paris), France

5 out of 5

If youv never been to Paris before dont miss the opportunity to go now. Even though its an overnighter time is limited, and not nearly long enough. We booked a tour that enabled us to get kind of the golden stuff of Paris done (Eiffel Tower, Sienne River Cruise, and Moulin Rouge). The second day before returning to the ship, we woke very early to get to the Louvre before it was time to return to the ship.
