Well I haven't done a review, but the ones above pretty much echo our sentiments. We just plain loved every single moment!! We only did Lattitudes once and it definitely did not live up to past experiences there. We did Signatures twice and as far as we are concerned it was great. We loved every meal in CR - and I have to say that our last night meal was perfection!! Bob/Maria and I ordered filet of sole and Frank ordered a Rib Eye and we were not disappointed!

We enjoyed every LCT'er onboard, had a great time at trivia,had such fun dinners with everyone, not to mention lunches and a few breakfasts, thought every staff person we met was terrific and would do this again in a heartbeat. I wondered about 8 days at sea, but they went by so fast I couldn't belive it.

As for excursions, I missed Valencia since I was sick, Frank said it was fine. We loved the ship excursion we did in Lanzarote - the Camel ride was hysterical, made even more so by the fact that Denise and Alan were on the Camel right behind us - and she and I laughed so hard thru the whole thing.

Our private tours were perfection, not one thing went wrong, and they were wonderful. Our days on our own were the same.

We loved our two nights in Provence at the Four Seasons, that is one wonderful hotel. We rented a car for one day and drove all the little hillside villages we could see from the hotel, and I would do that again in one nanosecond. We even drove back to one village for dinner on Friday night, and it was fabulous. I think this place had maybe 12 tables and it was packed. Our driver from Nice to hotel, and hotel to ship was wonderful and we loved EZE. So the only negative thing I can think of ---- was getting off. Didn't want to do it!!! They pulled me off that ship kicking and screaming all the way. <img src="http://smileys.sm...3Fi%253D4%252F4_11_1/image.gif">

We had invited two of the lead singers from the shows for dinner one night, as we had met them in Observation every evening, and on the spur of the moment, Fred, Pat, Bob and Maria joined us and it was fun evening.

We don't generally do a lot of shows, so I can only say that "Oh What A Night" was really terrific.

Our room stewardess was fantastic, our butler was wonderful and did such a great job on the welcome aboard party we had for Tom and Sue. Our bed was also wonderful and I don't think I have slept as well for a very long time. Agree with everyone, time for a new mattress, maybe some wonderful new linens and someone to turn the bed down at night and leave that wonderful treat.

So in short - this was one of the top two cruises we have ever taken, with some of the most wonderful people we have ever cruised with, on one of our favorite ships, with wonderful ports!

Guess that says it all.
