This review is written by a couple that has done 9 Windstar cruises since 2003. Obviously one continues to return for a great experience but this review will outline why we will search the market again before we decide which cruise line to choose for our next experience. Over 100 people on this cruise have sailed with Windstar multiple times but day after day we spoke to people who felt similar to us.
Windstar of today is not of the quality of years prior. Clearly, the signs of a large company owning this once new concept in a cruise line are evident and I will outline them in detail below. Please understand, we had a nice time and the itinerary from Iceland to Norway and Denmark is fabulous. Many of us felt there were far too many days at sea which can be rather boring, or one can use them to catch up on reading or relaxing. Here are the issues for the consumer to consider in deciding on what cruise to take. By the way, remember this cruise cost over $5K/ person

Amazing ecotourism--be sure to get a guide
Beautiful city- we hired a taxi to tour round the sites and open air boat museum.
