Review summary

Lovely ship with excellent service from all staff members. Enjoyed meeting and conversing with staff members. Days were busy with tours and all the planned activities or just relaxing by the pool and reading or playing cards! Always something to do or just enjoy your leisure. The days were your own to plan.
