This was our first trip on a small cruise ship but not our last as we had a wonderful time. There were about 150 guests and 98 crew in an intimate atmosphere without feeling crowded. The rooms were much larger than on the big cruise ship, a real treat. However, the real plus was the crew, made up mostly of Phillipine and Indonesian men. They were unfailingly polite and not only remembered your first name but also what you liked to drink, all after the first meeting.
