This was our first ever cruise and I so enjoyed it. The ship is amazing and the staff so professional.

We only had one little draw-back that held me back from giving it a 5 star rating - dinner. We are simple folks and don’t do the starter, soup and entree style of dining and we felt we were almost punished for that. Three nights in a row, while dining with just each other, we were basically ignored by the wait staff. When we dined with others, we were fine. Also, 2 hours for dinner is a little extreme in my mind.

The shore excursions were great, but some care should be taken for those who have mobility issues. An example would be Monet’s garden. There were a couple of people with walkers, me being one of them and had I known before hand how tight the pathways were, I would not have gone. I ended up getting through the one garden, found the exit and then just waited for the others to finish.

Cabin Review

Cabin Balcony Suite

The cabins were amazing. When we arrived our butler took the time to explain where everything was. The bathroom was a lot bigger than I anticipated and the balcony was amazing.
