A good cruise trip. Stewards, waiters and ship official were all very friendly. the Prince Christina Sound cruising was particularly gorgeous. Some port excursions were great, though birdwatching tours were somewhat disappointing.

Review summary
A good cruise trip. The stewards, waiters and ship official were all friendly. Some port excursion programs were interesting, two birdwatching excursions we joined were quite disappointing, and much more expensive that those same booked online or locally. Dinning was good in general. Waiting time was too long in the Dinning Room, and some food in Lido was not fresh and even rotten.Embarkation
Smooth.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
We liked the Dinning Room, though waiting time was a little too long, And we used the flexible Lido the most.
Onboard Activities
We mostly used the pools and the 3rd-floor walking ring, helpful to do daily exercises, keep fit.
Entertainment
The evening shows were so exciting, and no-missing for us every day.
Service and Staff
All the waiters and stewards are responsible and friendly.
Ship Quality
Great for the senior, the 3rd floor walking ring, nice swimming pools, flexible dining in Dinning Room and Lido,, the 5th floor entertainment rooms, and the World State for shows
Cabin / Stateroom
clean, though a little small. the oceanview was actually useless, as we had to keep the curtain shut for privacy.
Ports of call
Red Bay, Newfoundland
Cruise Prins Christian Sund, Greenland
the most wonderful experience with gorgeous views.
