Review summary

Glad we did it. I would like a more immersive experience in ports instead of so many. Many of the ports were commercial and not cruise terminals

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The world cruise had a special entree every night. Sometimes reflected of the region we were at

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
On board activities were the same as regular cruises

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The 5 singers, 9 piece orchestra, 3 piece stings and the pianist were phenomenal. They were on the whole 9 months. The others entertainment were hit or miss. The volume was way to loud in the Centrum for most of the performances
