We had a great time meeting wonderful people and spending time together. Too many days at sea and not enough things to do except eat, mostly due to weather.

It was the wring time of year for outdoor activities. The rock climbing wall was closed for 4 of the seven days due to weather. Pool was too cold for us.

Main dining and windjammer staff were excellent however I do recommend that the staff at the regular beverages are wear gloves. They moved the glasses with the fingers inside each one.

What sailing? We just got off September 18th sailing. Weather sucked, food wasn’t up to standards, service was great.
