This was our first cruise. We really didn't have any idea what we were in for.
Our flight was long, but the flight attendants made it feel shorter than it was.
We arrived in Basel a day before departure, which gave us some time to ourselves, to see some of the city. Next day we boarded the ship. We were greeted by a excellent staff. One person helped us to the ship, and it turned out to be our Tour Director who I thought did a outstanding job for all of us. Our room was great and the maid service was also great.
We had just about full vision with a sliding glass door.
