Review summary
Loved this transatlantic cruise. 60% of guests were from the UK so the menu items had a nice British touch. I'm a healthy 61 years old and did the Flow Rider (I've never surfed before), climbed the rock wall twice to the top, ice skated (first time since college), and attended the enrichment lectures. We participated in many of the trivia contests, attended most of the shows, and the food was great. The service was outstanding and I can't imagine a better way I could have spent the 13 days! Also did the final RC excursion to Windsor castle and LHR. It was a good value and the tour guide was excellent. I'd do this cruise again in a heartbeat!

Ship tip
I would suggest eating in the dining room as much as possible. The buffet is OK for when you're in a hurry (for an excursion or some other event) but the dining room served wonderful selections and had terrific service.
