Review summary

This was a very pleasant cruise.  It covered a number of ports of call that we were interested in visiting.  The ship was well managed and staffed and most all of our experiences except as noted below were positive. We liked the smaller size of this vessel (2000 passengers) better than larger ships we have sailed. The food in the main dining room was excellent.  The ship sponsored tours that we used very good but for one exception noted below.  We do find that the ship's excursions to be pricey.   We used off ship tours whenever possible. Our overall experience was very positive and would recommend the cruise to seniors looking for a similar experience.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Upon return from the day excursion to Berlin, we found the buffet dining hall closed. Because there were several buses returning from Berlin, management got a clue and re-opened the dining hall.
