Excellent organization and service from the airport to the ship and back (round trip). A perfect welcome on board from ALL the staff. At the restaurant, Gérald and all the waitstaff were attentive, considerate, and warm. It doesn’t get any better than this! It was a pleasure to dine in such a friendly atmosphere. Congratulations to the entire kitchen staff for the high-quality meals that were remarkably well presented. We had such a wonderful time at the table!!! The cruise director, activity leaders, cabin crew, and bar staff—each one was friendlier than the next. Very interesting excursions. An exceptional cruise—highly recommended.
