Review summary

The itenary was very good, food was delicious and service in Santa Fe Restaurant excellent. Try to book excursions on your own, YouCam sage a lot of money. Gravdal was far too expensive and not much to do there. The ship needs to be refurbished, the rooms are not up to date and SPA and GYM are very old, carpet in a GYM is a no go in terms of hygiene. The entertainment was ok, the own show productions were not very good with poor singers. Lecture was interesting and very good. Open deck parties did not take place because of the weather but no real alternative offered instead.
