Review summary

Best cabins that I've ever had.  They were huge!  And this was an absolutely beautiful boat.  It does have the only ballroom afloat, so I would strongly suggest dancing lessons before the cruise.  It was a quiet cruise, and tended to appeal to an older crowd.  This is both good and bad.  Good, since it made for a quiet, relaxing cruise.  Bad, since all activities tended to be geared towards an older crowd.  Dining room food was amazing.  Buffet was average, with mostly British food.  Definitely an upscale cruise for a lower price.

It's a long taxi ride to the port. Pre plan it.
