My husband planned this cruise for a milestone wedding anniversary. I was concerned because of the small size of the ship and the fact that it had so few reviews. As frequently happens in life, things turn out much more pleasant than my expectations.

Embarkation was quick and easy. We were greeted with the smiling face of Geddy (who would become one of our favorite waiters), a moist wet towel, drinks in the grand salon and were able to check into our cabin. Every passenger was friendly, we introduced ourselves to many fellow passengers and crew members. About half from the US, the remainder from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Tahiti, Mexico, Brazil, France, Hong Kong and Germany to name a few. English was the common language.

Our cabin had a balcony which we enjoyed but didn't use as much as expected. Since there are no full days at sea and the day seemed packed with activities, do not fret if you don't have a balcony. We frequently went to the top deck for a 360 degree view as we were leaving a harbor. There was a pool bar nearby to enjoy a drink along with the view and your new found friends. Plenty of storage in the cabin, bring some wire hangers. Mario kept our room perfect, at all times of day. Read more
