The cruise was most enjoyable. More communication about the history, terrain and villages we were passing would have been helpful, in written or spoken format.The local tour guides were excellent, perhaps with the exception of one who did not speak clearly for anyone with a hearing deficit. The ship was clean and the staff very friendly which was most appreciated. Clean windows in the lounge would be a plus. The food menu selection was adequate, but more variety would be helpful. The dining room staff had difficutly the first couple of days for patrons who needed/wanted to change tables. I would certainly recommend this cruise.
