We choose this cruise because after much research it came up as an exceptional choice. We wanted to leisurely cruise, with a quality liner, with all the trimmings. The destinations were important also, as we had never travelled to this area. The ship, the service, the activities, the exquisite food, the logistical organisation, and the facilities were absolutely outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. We definitely would quite easily do it again, and we definitely recommend this particular cruise/liner to our family and friends. The whole cruise was a delightful adventure. There were some minor delays, getting on and off the ship, and waiting to speak to someone at the service desk, but this was acceptable, as it was meticulously organised. There were many areas on the ship to get away to a quiet atmosphere, and that was really refreshing, The communication on the ship, before after and during was fantastic.
