1. We wanted to visit the Netherlands and Belgium and in time to see the tulips.
2. On-loading and Off-loading went as smoothly as we anticipated.
3. Overall the ship and its facilities were great .... except for the size of our stateroom (French Balcony) which was too small. Not even room for a chair.
Very clean, well kept, very well organized, but much smaller than expected. We chose not to have a veranda ... expecting to have increased cabin space. We got no veranda, but with smaller cabin space.
