We chose this ship for the itinerary and we weren't disappointed, there are no sea days, only ports. The overall experience of the ship was good, not as polished in areas such as entertainment or dining as other cruises I've been on, but nothing to complain about either. Staff could be a bit more organised and enthusiastic with activities on board, and perhaps more people would partake. Shore excursions were very good but very over priced. We did a few of our own and they were a fraction of the price of the ships. Embarkation and disembarkation were very organised and speedy, probably the fastest we've had. I did feel cold quite a bit on the ship, especially in the dining room and theater, I think that they should turn the air conditioning down a little, as most people wore jackets or cardigans. We would possible go again if the price was more realistic.
