Review summary

Very enjoyable cruise. Had a Jr Suite which has a lot of storage. Great room steward kept everything stocked. Enjoyed breakfast on the balcony. Itinerary has a lot of "port shopping" pushes. But its all fun. Thought the entertainment and dining all well balanced. It was enjoyable and relaxing. WIll do this again in a year or so. Gotta watch disembarkation with "duty free" items (liquor, or tobacco products). The port has a tax station as you exit the terminal to pay the local tax. If caught - big fines. Never seen this at a US port. The tax kills any saving you may have thought you had.

Caution - duty free isn't duty free when you get back to this port. The local municipality/port sets up a taxation station to collect duty on liquor and cigarettes. If you get caught big fine for each item.
