Loved the band that played the music from 3 decades. The 2 young people who played classical music were very good. We loved the games arranged by our program director, Lee.

The crew was wonderful. They worked well together and we enjoyed their humor. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our chef and his helpers even carved pumpkins for Halloween! We were actually on the sister ship on the Hiln, the Kara

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin is a bit small so sometimes it was difficult to move around each other but otherwise everything was great. The bed was comfortable, an our housekeeper kept everything clean and left us plenty of water each day. She was also friendly and fun to talk with
