Four cruises this year (Celebrity to Baltic Capitols, Royal Caribbean Allure to Caribbean, Azamara Tuscany 7 night, Regent Seven Seas Mariner 21 night transatlantic from Lisbon to Miami). 11-12 cruises on many lines in last 15 years.
All of these cruises had some great features, but Azamara worked out to have the best service and most fun on ship experience!
The public areas are meticulously maintained with fresh flowers everywhere, nice art and easy to understand flow. The pool area is not overly crowded and it is easy to get service there. Public restrooms are spit shined regularly, never saw a bad one. Theater typical, fine in every way. We combined ship purchased excursions with those from private companies, both were fine but the non-ship excursions were generally better with smaller groups and better guides. I upgraded my drink package to a middle cost one and it was adequate but not special.
