29 sailings  ·  from $38 a head

“The sights while on the cruise are lovely which would have been the case on any other cruise. I only wish customer service was better Two of the cocktails I asked for from their very limited cocktail menu were out, the one that I was able to get was awful with little to no alcohol. The bottom level had a bar that was serving the cocktails I’d have liked to have Rather than tell me that it was over, if they cared about customer service, they could have made it available from this lower level The dinner service seemed very mechanical”
