Overall this ship was amazing ---- so well designed and maintained. There is always someone cleaning, polishing, etc. Being the size it is it is easy to get about from fore to aft. We had only 700+ passengers so it was especially nice. The public rooms are just beautiful and since we were at see for 6 days there was plenty of time to enjoy them all.

The dining [food quality] was great, the best we have had on any cruise line. The only comparable one would be Viking River cruises. We had a problem with service in The Restaurant twice so we just chose to eat in The World Cafe which features most of the same selections, and probably a few more. It never felt overly crowded and the service was very attentive. Gelato, a favorite, in many flavors was available each lunch and dinner.

The two specialty restaurants were fabulous, especially The Chef's Table. The other is Manfredi's, an Italian restaurant. We ate in both 2 or 3 times. Again you do not have to pay additional for this kind of exquisite dining as you do on other cruise lines.

Cabin Review

Cabin Deluxe Veranda

The cabin was beautiful, small but well laid out with very nice amenities. We enjoyed the time we spent in the cabin. The cabin steward was wonderful, just as the rest of the crew.

One of the things we really enjoyed was having the mini-bar refreshed everyday with soda, tonic, potato chips and a couple of small chocolate bars ---- no cost.
