Review summary

A good selection of ports of call and shore excursions.  But there was not enough time in port and too much time at sea.  It would have been better departing from Miami rather than New York (and it would have had smoother seas and warmer weather also).  Great food and service.  Onboard entertainment could have been better.  The comedian and acrobatic team were great, but the others should have stayed in New York.
