Review summary
This is the fourth time we have done a cruise over the Thanksgiving holiday with our son and his family. As always, we had a very relaxing, fun time. The food and service overall was very good. There are many things to do on the ship. The ports of call were also good. We did not participate in an excursions, because we have done some of them in the past. We cruise mainly for shopping and relaxation.Embarkation
