The cruise definitely meets expectations. The food is great, along with the service. The only thing I didn't care for, is that it's not for active people. If you're active or like to workout at all, the gym is basically useless. It has a rowing machine and a bench, and fits one person comfortably at a time. Not even a basic treadmill. To top it off, you're told that you can't use the top deck to run, as patrons below are disturbed. The top deck is also closed for the last 1-2 days of travel. It's a small ship, which makes it intimate, but has it's limitations for sure. But then again, if you're there to eat and drink away and don't care much on being active, it's a paradise for you. The cabins are decent, the housekeeping staff is great. Alcohol is readily available. It definitely provides good service, the piece missing is good activities for active people.
