We chose this cruise because of the unique itinerary and was not disappointed in where we went or the ports of call. Freestyle Dining definitely is worth it though the wait staff in several of the restaurants were not very attentive. We had one dinner that took over 3 hours because of that. The food overall was okay, nothing was spectacular, have better restaurants at home for less of money.

The room stewards were extremely friendly, attentive and helpful and made that part of the journey very enjoyable.
