We chose this cruise because it was over a weekend,3 days, which fit our schedule.
The experience was truly memorable. From embarkation to disembarkation, there were no problems and all went smoothly. The crew were extremely friendly and helpful except our room steward who was somewhat aloof and not very helpful in providing the bottle of champagne which was supposed to come with the room. We never did get it but a drink package came with the room so we were certainly not without libations.
The afternoon meal during embarkation was most delicious with friendly and accommodating wait staff and freely flowing wine. The remaining dining room meals were nothing to rave about which was the only low point. However, the meals in the buffet and upper floor where you had a wide variety of food for all meals were very good and nicely presented. The dining areas on all parts of the ship were very clean and well maintained.
