Verdict

“First class cruise with 1st class people. Cannot say anything bad about anything! Loved the ship, very elegant. Loved, loved, loved the crew. Some have been on the ship for years. The food was outstanding, although I wasn’t as impressed with Silk Road as I had expected to be. The entertainment and the shows very good with talented dancers. Loved the lectures of the places we docked although thought they could have been a little more detailed. “ – planada
