It was a great experience! We've been on several other cruises on larger ocean ships and it was a very nice experience to be on a smaller ship in a more intimate setting. The service from the crew was top notch and personal. We wish the stateroom had a clock (not just on the TV) and a small fitness center would have been nice (even 1 or 2 treadmills or bikes would be helpful - the weather was not conducive to use the outdoor track on the top deck). Food was outstanding! We are normally used to a bit slower pace when we cruise. The excursions were very good and we didn't want to miss a thing. But, it was pretty exhausting to be on the go from early morning to supper time most days. We were definitely ready for bed each night to be rested for the next day. The added excursion to Lucerne at the end of the trip was a wonderful way to end the week. Thanks for a great time!
