I felt that after looking at the competition this cruise provided equal value. The cruise I thought was really amazing and lived up to all our expectations. The interaction between the crew and the guests was fabulous and the performance of the Cruise director was second to none.. Our Friends had to return home because of a personal family crises. The Cruise director handled the arrangements to get them off the ship and home so effectively and efficiently it was impressive. When our friends left the ship he had his arm in the mothers arm and was assisting her to the Taxis. This was noticed by many of the guests who were returning and they though the empathy he showed to the problem was just incredible.

The Day excursions and walking tours were just right and some of the options we took were just right. I was impressed with the food quality the portions were just right and not overly large but if anyone wanted more then it was available. There were so many crew that were great it would be difficult to single out ho was the best. The were some great last minute arrangements that I thought was a god touch such as the Lock Celebration when we reached the deepest lock. It was another great activity that brought the guests together.

Overall I think the cruise was really fantastic and exceeded all its expectations..
