Sail Date: Nov 2012
Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 1C

After a super whistle stop 2 days in Dubai we joined the ship via a chaotic and wearying hour and a half check in, due to a terminal malfunction. However, once on board we found our balcony cabin to be very nice, with a really decent sized bathroom, shower with curved sliding doors and plenty of room to put toiletries. If any complaint, the lack of hanging space - we much prefer the open rail style as per Princess, so you don't have to keep sliding wardrobe doors open and shut, and having clothes squashed up. Bed very big and always kept made and clean by Ronaldo. Didn't find the over-bed cupboards a problem as reported by previous reviews, even though I'm only 5ft 2", and were a useful place to store bags etc.

Ship itself is very beautiful and always kept clean and tidy. Lifts were efficient and plentiful. Many areas to sit and be quiet if you wanted, or busy and fun filled if you preferred a more active time.

We thought the choices of food were excellent all over the ship, but didn't use any speciality restaurants as we were happy in the MDR each night, and occasional breakfast time. We did think the wine charges were excessive, especially with the extra 15%, but were on holiday so didn't let it prevent us having several bottles of good Australian Red.
