We think this is a truly exciting cruise. We spend alot of time in the Caribbean and are excited to explore Europe with like minded sexy people!
Mrs is disappointed that butler service is no longer included in all cabin categories. She was particularly looking forward to this. To appease her Mr. has agreed to purchase a set of white gloves and provide cabin service. :)
