Review summary

We loved the cruise and being able to relax and see the sights without moving our luggage every day or so. The food was delicious, we met great people, and enjoyed new ports of call. We hope to go back to Canada again sometime. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Took 3 cooking classes and enjoyed them and learned some new tips and great recipes. Also, went to the fitness center.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Went to all the shows, went to one movie, enjoyed music at all the different venues. Loved the violinist and piano player and the guy who played at the Mix. The shows were like on Broadway. The comedian was really great, too! Didn't care for the music in the Crow's Nest. It was too loud for my taste.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters were the best - very professional, polite, very nice, and always had a smile on their faces. Room stewards were great, too. Our rooms were always super clean and all needs were taken care of. Everybody on the ship was super friendly!!
