Review summary

The cruise far exceeded our expectations and friends told us it would be great. The pace was perfect for us. All excursions exceeded expectations except the diamond thing. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it. One issue was the flight reservations. I requested an upgrade and got tickets in main cabin. It required over 20 phone calls and my wife and I did not get seats together. Please review this process. Also I was told my name is incorrect in your database. How can I change this?

A little disorganized at the airport, we waited outside in the cold rain for too long.
