Had wonderful time. The islands were beautiful. We went on the lava tour but the lava had stopped. Started again after we left. That's nature for you.

group 1 Jan 2007

The crew especially the house keeper was brilliant. The cost of things on the ship was expensive especially the service charge and the cost of the photographs that were taken as memories.

We stayed in a mini suite on deck 10. The cabin was very clean and the bed exceptionally comfortable. Everything was as we expected and more.

First time in the US and first long haul flight - both great. This cruise, hotel and transfers were organised to perfection.
