Cabin Review

Cabin Prestige 1

This is the second largest suite on the ship. It is essentially two adjacent staterooms, with a bed on one side and a couch & table on the other. A large doorway connects the two sides. Two bathrooms and two closets make for a comfortable experience. In addition to the normal room attendant, Suites come with Philippe, a very pleasant Butler who takes care of many things such as laundry, canapes, shoe shining, room supplies, errands, reservations, room service, information and wine or champagne on request. He was a funny guy too.

This was the cleanest ship we've ever sailed. Everything was in good repair and staff was constantly working on keeping it so.

The wait staff was attentive and accommodating. We each have a specific food allergy which we listed on our pre cruise documents. The first day on board the Head Chef sought us out and discussed his plan to protect us.

The bar staff remembered everyone's requests after the first order.

The housekeeping staff took care of any request with a smile.

The Gym is small but usable. Actually getting in and out of the Zodiacs is plenty of exercise.

The Spa too is small but has all the necessary services at the same high prices as other cruise lines.

The gift shop is tiny and a bit limited. But you can still manage to pad your bill.

We are planning to re-book this same ship next year.
