Review summary
This was my first cruise and my wife's second in 30-years. The cruise and cruise line changed my preconceived view of cruises. It was a most enjoyable way to travel with plenty of the down time I wanted and the on shore experiences we both looked forward to having in the countries where we stopped. The entire ship's crew was excellent and as attentive as possible. The food, entertainment, and services were more than we expected. We had the Ultimate Dining Package which was definitely worth the additional cost. I wouldn't sail without it. For a large ship (2500+ passengers) we found it easy to navigate and very convenient to use for our wants. From our original embarkation to our final return, the crew and representatives made it a quick and efficient process to register and pass customs. Definitely a repeat experience. We are looking forward to more cruises.

Ship tip
We had a mid-ship cabin with a large window (5th level) that met all of our needs. This position gave us a comfortable ride and close access to everything. Certainly upgrade as you wish, but even the lesser berths are great.
