The repositioningcruose is an xcellent way to get to Europe if you have time. It eliminated jet lag. Lectures were interesting. Lecturers knowledgeable, friendly and animated. Great tasting food and good variety. Chef's table was tasty and different. St. Martin Philipsburg excursion was very disappointing. Jerez excursion was great. Explorer's lounge Cafe has wonderful cakes, sandwiches, and in the evening, soup. The sauna and spa area is great. Repositioning cruise is wonderful for relaxing and getting to use all areas of the ship. The crossing was very smooth, just a gentle roll a few times. Interesting to visit the small museum areas on board and study the art works. There are board games available, too. The workers on board did a good job. It was nice having a coffee maker in the deluxe veranda room. Boarding was smooth and so was getting off. We enjoyed the repositioning cruise very much.
