Review summary

Loved the ports. The ship was very clean. Very easy to get around The food was ok including our visits to Le Bistro and Cagney's Enjoyed the variety of entertainment. The dance floor in the Bliss Lounge is simply too small. The front desk staff were very helpful. Our massages were good.

Nice cruise but disappointed
The cruise was Ok except that they canceled two of the best ports and kept us at sea for two days instead of giving us other choices. hey could have picked two other ports so we could have spent our money more wisely. They took advantage of the customers.
