Creator's Key Takeaways

the cruise Bible the authoritative berlet's complete guide to cruising and cruise ships has for years said this line has the very best ships in the world

I did feel that they tried really hard to make me feel included to make us English speakers feel welcome

the food was great the main dining room was really good had really attentive service
