We chose this cruise because:
1. Great exposure to European countries.
2. Perfect length.
For a 12 night cruise, get a cabin with a balcony! We wanted to save money and go interior, but that is too little space for a family of 4 on a cruise this long. Also, without a balcony, it took clothing forever to dry. Spend the extra money!
Also, with 4 people in a cabin, we had to use the pull-down bunks. They were awful!! The mattresses were old and terrible, the ladders hurt your feet going up and down. Also, they creaked and sounded like they were going to fall down.
