choose this ship, had the places I wanted to go to besides being a great ship. housekeeping was excellent, two shows were fantastic on this trip, was B/B for us 28 days. Summer Solstice in Norway was great to see & feel. The ship is clean, still feels up to date, been on lots of ships, maybe 25-30 without being double on any so know some of what I speak. The ports were everything I'd hoped & more, time in ports was just right, ships crew was ALWAYS pleasant and always greetings when passing any of them. Too much selling on ship, excursions were very high priced so booked most off ship because only of that fact. Food was good, don't waste your time & money on specialty eating as the food in dining and Horizon deck was good ,unless you have the money to spend. Last day on ship[p the offering of 15 min. on internet for $9.99 was a good value but watch ALWAYS that you sign off correctly. Have fun
