This was a fun cruise with many ports that I was interested in and proved to be enjoyable to visit. Embarkation was crowded, but it went smoothly. Getting off was no issue at all.

The alcoholic mixed drinks average about $9.00, but a drink package was, to me, very expensive and while we drank well, came no where near that price. So I don't recommend a package. The ship was clean and the staff amazingly friendly and attentive. The food in the main dining area and buffet was excellent. The specialty restaurants, especially the Italian restaurant, were not outstanding by any means. I would not go back to either. The shows were also excellent, especially the production numbers although I am tiring of oldies shows that feature Motown Music. The cabin and our steward was good. The Wine Bar was fun and we got to know the staff and regulars who seemed to be there.

Good wine and atmosphere. It was overall a very fine experience.
