Outstanding
The trip went well without a hitch. Travel for 4 days was much better than a short 2-day cruise. I had so much more time to relax and enjoy the scenery. If there are activities that I don't want to join, I can skip them and stay on board. The staff was kind and friendly, always accommodating. Highly recommend!!
