Embarkation at Southampton was quick & efficient, cabin was fine though a little minimalist in its decor.Our cabin steward, Anand, was excellent and we thanked him very much for his work and his friendliness.

Dining: We generally ate in the MDR as the Oceanview Cafe was like a ferry with good food options but chaos trying to move around the serving isles and finding a table... One fellow passenger referred to the Cafe as "...a bunfight.." The food in the MDR was good overall and our servers - Jobita and Pavel, were very good, friendly and efficient. The Aqua Spa Cafe was a nice touch though it wasn't clear exactly what was included and what we had to pay for, also the staff there were fairly miserable....

We ate in Murano twice and Tuscan Grille once, the food was good BUT not worth the extra $50 per head extra on top of what we'd already paid for the MDR. The menus are limited in each restaurant. I also did a galley tour whilst on a sea day and that was good but ended up as a selling exercise :( Read more
