Review Summary
This would have been the best cruise ever if it were not for the abysmal boarding experience in NY. However, everything that occurred after boarding was exceptional. The physical shape of the ship, the outstanding service from the entire crew, and the quality of the food were exceptional. We have never been on a cruise where all of the crew, including the maintenance workers and deck hands, always greeted us cordially wherever we were on the ship. This is a testament to the philosophy from from the top down.Ship Experiences
