Alaska-Hawaii cruise

September

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was always very clean. Plenty of options to do everyday.

Cons: By the end of the cruise the same food options were limited.

Recommended: Yes

I would recommend they have a different variety in the buffet every day, not the same thing every day. We absolutely loved our steward! He was very helpful with any questions we had and greeted us everyday with a ?? We looked forward to visiting with him everyday and miss him already!

10 Day Canary Island and Spain Cruise

March

Pros: having our itinerary changed and stopping at Gibraltar instead of Madeira

Cons: stopping at Casablanca, Morocco

Recommended: Yes

We had such a good time on this cruise. The only thing I did not like was our stop in Morocco. I felt the city was very dirty and the people were not very welcoming. It was impossible to get service at the restaurants we stopped at and I felt very uneasy with all the people starring at us. The excursion we went on was ok. The mosque we saw was beautiful and the excursion could had stopped there. Our itinerary had to change due to rough seas so instead of going to Madeira, we went to Gibraltar instead. I LOVED our time in Gibraltar! The city square was great and the excursion to see the cave and monkeys was out of this world!

Great Christmas Cruise!

December

Pros: Itinerary......Wonderful suite-it was huge, outstanding personal service, great food, good entertainment, loved free style dining

Cons: Port talks in small lounges at 5:30, need to be taped and on tv; tv selection was awful, slow internet, definitely need technology upgrade throughout the ship.

Recommended: Yes

While the ship is older, it has charm. I think updating the technology on the ship would be advantageous. Missed every port talk due to the time of the talk. Not great selection in the shops. Each day we were served wonderful canapes, cookies, chocolates, etc. However, if we didn't put them out of sight or didn't eat them, when we returned from dinner they were gone! Efficient staff. Some of the areas for eating were nor conducive to talking. Loved the French restaurant, and enjoyed Cagney's for breakfast and dinner and lunch. I would do this again based on the itinerary! Great ports of call.

Greek Isles and Sicily

October

Pros: Great itinerary as far as the ports visited.

Cons: Older ship - and missed visiting one of our destinations

Recommended: Yes

Because of operational problems on the ship we missed visiting one of our scheduled ports. We ran 9 hours behind on that particular day so we didn't stop in Malta until that night and we missed our excursion. We were compensation for what we paid for the excursion, but we still lost a whole day at that port which I feel the cruise line should have given us some kind of credit for the loss. All and all, it was a great cruise. I loved the ports that this cruise visited and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One small comment - the bartenders could have been a little more cheerful!

Grand Mediterranean cruise

August

Pros: Great ports

Cons: Ship could use 1 more pool and 2 more hot tubs.

Recommended: Yes

Wake up calls are not automated and depend on staff calling. Be aware, call was late 2 mornings. Also, stay away from cabins near medical center, security took an out of control drunk to medical center and he yelled all night. Credit to staff was that they moved me to another cabin for the night so I could sleep. Bottle of wine and chocolates were sent to my cabin to atone for these inconveniences. The only port I would replace is Toulon France. A port closer to or on the French Rivera might be more interesting and fun.
