Review summary

1. The cruise exceed our expectations. 2. We were disappointed that we could not use our cruise credits from Booking.com for excursions until we boarded the ship. A couple of excursions we wanted to join were already full. 2. Also disappointed we booked the airlines through Booking.com, we flew business class and could not reserve seats until 24 hours prior to flight. No guarantee that we would sit together. So we paid the extra fee to reserve seats.

We wanted to go to Normandy however it was a 2 hour bus ride. We did not want to sit on the bus for 4 hours. We were tired and stayed on the ship and relaxed.
