My wife chose the cruise because we wanted to see Germany (where our ancestors came from) and see where Martin Luther lived because we were both of the Lutheran Faith. Both which were fulfilled on this amazing cruise. We had a great time saw lots of interesting places and learned a lot. The crew was more than helpful and went out of their way to make the trip a wonderful holiday for us. They made us feel that they were having as good a time as we were. All of the little things, like being welcome back to the ship by the captain and crew after each excursion with a little refreshment. The little treats left in our rooms by the housekeeping staff. The entertainment each evening and of course the food and beverages, They were beyond anything we expected. We were happy that the walking was included in the outings as we may have gained a bit of weight from the fabulous meals provided, It's no wonder you were chosen as the worlds best cruise line.
