Review summary

Once in a lifetime cruise. I would do it again in a second. The ship was perfect as we were able to get into many ports that larger ships would not get into.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great. They had special area for UWC

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Overall food was very good.

Onboard Activities

They had a variety of shows and activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
They brought in acts each week and the crew based shows were good. They did get a little boring after you had seen them a few times.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best crew

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
20 year old ship but still very good

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This worked for us. WE treated it as our bedroom and bathroom. Then the rest of the ship was our home.

Looking at some of the photos, it reminds me of the sounds in New Zealand.
