Review summary

 The staff were professional, composed under duress, handled cranky passengers with care and concern at the desk. A lot can happen during a week at sea and a lot did happen. The weather was exceptionally good and cooperative. I've never had a smoother cruise. The food was good and varied. The entertainment staff also exceptional and varied. I especially appreciated the ships acting and singing troupe.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Typical cabin but excellent staff. Our room was kept clean and each night we enjoyed coming back to a different towel animal. That's typical, but still fun.

Ship tip

Be on time or early for dining. More time to enjoy your table companions and more time to relax and eat 😊

I've been on the Wester dam and had a great time. A top notch operation.
