5 out of 5 stars

Pros: Beautiful Ship, new ship, fantastic staff, excellent food

Cons: The port stop in Tunisia needs to be tightened up. The shuttle works well, but the drop of point in Tunis is in the middle of traffic; should be a specific place with space to disembark the shuttle.

5 out of 5 stars

The food in the specialty restaurants was fantastic.. The quality, selection service were all better than any ship I have been on. The food in the marketplace was also fantastic, with great selection ,quality and service. I have been on many many cruise and usually do not go to the shows. The entertaim=nment on this ship was far and away the best I have ever seen. The variety, the quality & the enjoyability were suburb. Some of the standouts were the Resident Artists and Patricia the Chello player.

Pros: Even thought the ship was almost full, there was never a problem getting a chaise loung, getting in any pools or jacuzzis or any lines anywhere

Cons: The ship was so fantastic you really didn't care about any of the ports
