We heard about this cruise from relatives who had taken this last year. All members of the crew are very helpful and friendly. It was nice to have met many fellow Filipinos among them and to know that the chief cook and members of the band are Filipinos.

The shore excursions are very interesting and the daily briefing by the cruise director and his assistant are quite remarkable. Their logistics are excellent. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly, especially the ones that guided us thru Rome and the Vatican and the La Sagrada Familia Basilica.

We especially like the many different kinds of food in the daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets at the World Cafe; and the restaurant menus at the Chef Table. We also enjoyed listening to great entertainment every night provided by the Filipino singer and his band. We liked this ocean cruise better than the river cruise we were on three years ago.
