Review summary

From the moment we arrived to board the Ship, throughout the cruise, and then regrettably having to leave the Ship the entire staff were incredible.  Everything was so well organized.  We enjoy both the activities on board from the trivia games with Sylvia and Alissandro (sorry about the spelling), who were full of energy and plain out fun, to the many meals where the staff treated everyone as their private party.  Hats off to Sandra in Giovanni's and Jorge and Catalina (I think this is correct) in the Chop Grill.  The staff in Izuma's was also great.  Santos and Priscilla made sure we stayed hydrated and it was fun listening to their travels.  There was plenty of shore excursions and we got the opportunity to visit some wonderful sites.  Our world is so beautiful.  The entertainment in the theater each night was exceptional and it exceeded my expectations.  The dancers, the serenade of the Seas band, the headliner shows were a great ending to each day.  From the Captain to each member of the ship, they would make eye contact and say hello.  Frequently, they would stop and visit and would then remember your name and make sure all was well.  I did celebrate my birthday on the Ship and expected the Captain (he demonstrate how to bake a cake earlier on the cruise) to make me a cake for me but he must have forgot.  LOL :-)  Thinking back, I laughed and was in awe for 16 wonderful nights.  Would love to do this again!  Rich

Ship tip

This is a 16 night cruise. Meet the staff, passengers, and enjoy life. There will be lots to see (pun intended) so get out and enjoy. The history to the Vikings on the islands was fascinating. Iceland with its thermal energy was interesting. There is just lots to see and enjoy.
