Review summary

Wonderful trip around the world with excellent crew who surpassed our expectations (it seems every need was happily anticipated and attended to) and world ports that both surprised and enchanted. A large part of our bucket list was checked off, not as achievements but rather as experiences to be cherished. A world cruise is not for everyone and possibly not again for us, but we were thrilled to have this opportunity.
