We had a wonderful time on our first cruise. Everyone on board told us that this was the best cruise and that we had started at the top. We loved everything about the cruise but particularly the crew. We enjoyed the ship, the passengers and all of the ports. It didn't hurt that we had 11 days of 70 - 75 degree weather.

We chose to eat at a different time each night and shared dinner with new guests each night. It gave us the opportunity to meet many new people from different countries and learn about them and their countries. The largest number were from the U.S. and Canada and the U.K. but we met people from Columbia, France. Brazil and Venezuela.

We are now hooked on cruising! We had a cabin on the 10th floor at the back of the ship and enjoyed the quiet and the view. Not too much engine noise at all.
