Review summary

We went with my sister and had the most wonderful time. Enjoyed the shows so much. Meals were so wonderful and all staff so friendly. We meet so many wonderful fellow voyagers. Some were even from our state of Tennessee. The galas were wonderful and enjoyed getting dressed up and felt very special.
