Hello Wonder,
Yes, we are back home. We had a great time. My favorite part was the service, especially. The English-speaking staff. They worked really hard to make our trip enjoyable. We upgraded (ship was not full) to an executive floor. That was a good decision.
The tours, were interesting, even. If the weather did not always cooperate.
Food-wise, I really appreciated the excellent coffee and the quality of the red wine!
We will be sure to recommend you to others. Thank you.
