I chose this round trip crossing because I wanted to enjoy the ship and not get on and off everyday. It was just great! There was plenty to do everyday if you wished. I tried to do the least and still kept busy. I took in lectures I had not planned, music programs I had not planned and even bingo. Most of the time I just enjoyed the people and the public rooms. Our 8:30 dinner was a constantly awaited event. Two couples and two singles and strangers to all, we closed the restaurant from the first to the last night. No one made any evening show plans because we had such a good time at our table. I enjoyed the buffet self serve breakfasts in the Kings Court and the pub lunches in the Golden Lion. The wait staff were terriffic and always happy and patient with us. There was a Catholic Mass every day and that was most appreciated. Embarkation was a drag. 1 1/2 hours to zig zag around but disembarkion was breeze. I left the ship at 9:00AM and was out to be picked up at 9:25 luggage in hand. The shore excursions went well with fun and knowledgeable guides. I would do this trip again in a heart beat.
