My first cruise but not my last. I was educated, spoiled, entertained and got to experience large and small communities. The service was outstanding - cannot say enough. The ship was cozy with plenty of spots to curl up or relax and enjoy the shoreline vistas. I loved having local guides who could talk from personal experience and had pride and enthusiasm for their community.
The evening entertain was fun but having a change of pace from a single piano player would have been nice.
I met wonderful fellow travelers and the size of the ship ensured that you had a chance to interact with almost everyone.
