Great family vacation. The kids club kept the children busy all day, letting us relax in the adults-only Solarium. Slipped off to 10-Night Mississippi River Delta to Memphis and had a fantastic time.

The ship was clean and well maintained. Wi-Fi was a bit slow in remote areas, but overall a great value cruise. Slipped off to 10-Night Mississippi River Delta to Memphis and had a fantastic time.
