Review summary

Pre-arranged for flowers / champagne in room and was there when we boarded. All personnel interactions very pleasant. Specialty dining was great, not lacking in quality or quantity.

Relatively small ship but stable in the weather experienced. A bit sloppy on the re-fit, paint spill and over-cover, some new paint already peeling. Balcony glass too clouded to see through. some railings loose etc. all small stuff that could easily be rectified (at a cost to their bottom line hence left as is).

Forget Excursions. Same can be had at each port for less $$$ IMHO!

Roberto was great (room Steward). A bit tight getting in and out (small hall into actual room). Plenty of closet space, and don't need all those fancy dress up clothes. Ours mostly sat in the closet only to get repacked in suitcase. Bathroom small (open door to turn around), shower pressure ho hum and hot water was lacking. Didn't need any cold water on to moderate temp, just straight hot water.

Ship tip

Common areas kept clean and appealing. Small hallways but, it's a ship not a building! Swimming fish carpet a bit overwhelming. Probably go with larger ship on next cruise
