Review summary

This was the best cruise in 29 years of cruising, My agent, Donnie Brummer, got me exactly what I wanted for a cabin. The trip was phenomenal! Best excursion I have ever experienced was the Princess excursion in Montevideo - The best of Montevideo and Wine tasting tour. Good solid city tour, but the winery had exceptional wine, OUTSTANDING food, and the TWO floor shows. A Tango show that rivaled any of the clubs in Buenos Aires and then another show all about Carnival, A unique experience I will treasure forever. OH, and Antartica was great too. hahahahaha, seriously, we were fortunate and saw everything I wanted to see, and expected/hoped to see and experience.
