We chose this cruise after taking the same cruise two years ago. Great itinerary, super ship, two full weeks out of the cold! We did not take organized shore excursions this year, as we have been to these ports several times each. A taxi to a beach or a walk around the port was good enough for us this time.

We were very pleased with the efficiency of the embarkation process, although we were not advised of luncheon arrangements available for Concierge class passengers.
