Review summary

Having a living room meeting place for solos was so helpful. Our expert leader made dining together easy. I also had great assistance from the service desk. A nice young lady (sorry not to have gotten her name) when above and beyong to call Delta to insure I had assistance thru the airport. Instructions were clear and disembarking went smoothly.
