Overall, this was a very good cruise experience. We have noticed a decline in the quality of cruising in the past few years but this cruised restored our faith in enjoying leisure time at sea.

STATEROOM: We elected to go Concierge (C1) and were pleased with the selection. Our room was comfortable though a little small. However, good use of space allowed for adequate storage.
