Review summary
This cruise was for my husband, I really wasn't bothered. I'm a hopeless sailor and thought it would be full of people 'not like us'. So I said if I was cruising I wanted a mini suite with space to escape to. Didn't need it! We had such a great break, the best service, wonderful food (8lb more of me came home!) and lovely company. My expectations were low, maybe that's why I was so impressed, I don't know. We got home yesterday and went straight down to town and picked up some brochures for our next cruise. We are a couple in our 50's and recent empty-nesters, and this was a lovely trip for us to relax and reconnect. The only negatives I have are in the destinations themselves, as they're very touristy and I suspect they see the cruise ships and rub their hands in anticipation of such a large captive audience. For us it was all about the ship, the facilities, the staff and passengers.

Ship tip
If you want to have the special behind the scenes tour that cost a whopping $150, book it when you get on, it's very popular. We didn't get to do it but met people who had, and were blown away by it as they got to see the kitchens, print room, laundry etc.
Ports of call
