THIS WAS A GOOD CRUISE AND THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE WORLD. tHE ONLY NEGATIVE POINT IS THAT THE AUREA EXPERIENCE DID NOT GIVES SATISFACTION TO US. YOU PAY FOR A BETTER SERVICE AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE THAT SERVICE BECAUSE THE SHIP DID NOT HAD IT; bUT A REPEAT THIS WAS A WONDERFOUL WORLDCRUISE EXPERIENCE
