Anniversary Cruise
March
Pros: The crew staff was outstanding. The four main restaurants provided variety and great food selections. Thr theater performers and production shows were the best we have ever seen. The captain and his staff were available to meet throughout the cruise. Very comfortable and clean stateroom.
Cons: High cost of some specialty restaurants. Too many at Sea days. Docking location in Saint Thomas in an industrial area verses near downtown.
Recommended: Yes
