My sister-in-law has been on this cruise three times and recommended it very highly. It lived up to our expectations, and more. The service, tour guides, on board staff, stateroom and food were all exceptional. Housekeeping staff were outstanding. The room was tidied and the bed was made more than once a day (a schedule allowed time for a nap almost every day.) The excursions were interesting and informative. Most involved quite a bit of walking, but there was often a "leisure" option for those with less mobility. For the most part, the guides spoke excellent English, although there were one or two who were more difficult to understand. The cruise director was outstanding--engaged, entertaining, warm, extremely organized and always available. I'm not sure when she slept. Other than the walking tours, there was limited opportunity for exercise, but the too deck was open most days, so the walkingŕjogging track was available. Overall, this was an exceptional experience!
