Wonderful itinerary, with highlights in Spain, Lisbon, a pleasant surprise in St. Helier, Amsterdam and the Keukenhoff, St. Petersburg, and Stockholm. The ship was superb, and the Captain and Crew top notch The food was fantastic as was the selection for wines and beer with the meals. One area of improvement is to have a more transparent system for reserving the specialty restaurants. it seemed that a small amount of people kept others of us from having more reasonable opportunities to dine in those venues, but otherwise, superb. Manfredi's was fantastic, but would have liked the opportunity to dine there a time or two more. The resident historian and guest lecturers were fantastic.The ability to learn and enrich around stops and environs was something I really liked. The entertainment overall was well done, although a few shows I would have preferred a different theme, and what a gift it was to have our cruise director, Aaron with the entertainment background. What a voice? The gym was a welcome addition, and well run. I really needed this on a cruise of this length. The ports were well selected, and logistically, they went generally smooth. We weren't able to get into Porto because we were weathered out, but sometimes that happens. Overall, my wife and I commented the other night that this was our best cruise so far, and it really had to do with the selection of ports (itinerary), the ship and crew, and the duration (which accented the trip). Bravo, overall.

Cabin Review

Well appointed and laid out. Next time we might go with a penthouse verando for a little more room
