Sail Date: Oct 2017
Cabin: Balcony
Huge bridge room in an unusual unoccupied moment
Commodore Lounge evening
Gale winds force 11

We chose this cruise because we had massive items to transport from US to Germany, and because I have a back problem. We booked a package that included 2 days at 5 star hotel on Times Square in NYC -- wonderful.

Embarcation a little slow, but ok. The gym and daily YOGA classes were great for my back; steward excellent. I was content to contemplate the Atlantic, even though with two wind strength 10-11 storms, we suffered. My husband enjoyed the GYM and he GREATLY enjoyed the Pinot Noir tasting and cocktail tasting in the forward Commodore Bar (I enjoyed that bar as well).

I, a retired orchestra conductor, found all musical entertainment beyond the pale. My husband didn't like it either. Movies and tv were only slightly better.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BB

Everything functioned well in cabin (air conditioning, water boiler, enough space); steward was excellent. Balcony not that necessary on Transatlantic with 2 gale-force storms, but nice to have. No unwelcome noises.
