We had a fabulous cruise. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and professional. The weather wasn’t cooperative as it was cool and rainy a fair bit. It warmed up by the end though. We really enjoyed our first cruise with Emerald and Tour Radar was instrumental in that success. Your staff were very professional and helpful as well and attentive to our questions and timely with the answers. Thank you.Show more
