We chose this curise as we had not been to this part of the world and we were able to get a balcony for a reasonable price .the ports were very interesting and we looked forward to seeing them all .we embarked in ft.lauderdale about 4 hours drive from home and flew home from copenhagen for a 26 day cruise .the ship was very nice as it was the first time on that size for us ,we usually do a smaller vessel .the cabin was my big dissapointment due to the obstruction and the often privacy issue .however the cabin stewart was great .dining was average except for formal nights .they did not wow me .the entertainment was fabulous and we enjoyed that very much .we loved karokee and also th ocean voice ,marriage game ,yes and no ,the activites were good except there was no art activities except in the atrium 2 times with watercolor .the craft were mostly sewing ,not card or jewlery making ,napkin folding etc. .the service was wonderful ,our waiter flora .assistant nina ,head waiter michael .

The ports were good and we enjoyed them .i would go againw ith better time of year for weather and definately a better cabin ,no obstuction .
