Review summary

As always, the food is delicious and very well prepared.  The staff is always friendly and helpful, no matter how many times I asked if I was walking to the front or the back of the ship.  The entertainment was the best of any other cruise line - including singers, dancers, ice skating and even The Unexpected Boys who did the songs of The Four Seasons.  All in all, it was a terrifically fantastic vacation.
