Review summary
We were impressed with the ship... really beautiful. Technical innovation is probably why I wanted to try it. l loved the I-Fly and North Star. The crew was wonderful. We purchased our cruise without full understanding of the "Dynamic Dining" concept and were too late to get "Dynamic Dining Classic" (which more closely resembles the conventional 6:00/8:00 p.m. seating with same table and staff). We had to choose and reserve each restaurant and dinner time. For us that lost much of the charm of sailing...few decisions to make; getting to know table mates and the same wait staff for each meal. Knowing that you had a show to attend each night was also something lost for this cruise concept, All but a couple of shows had to be reserved ahead of time or you could not attend. So... good ship; good crew; but please do not extend the "dynamic" concept to other ships.
I must add that this cruise cut the 12 day trip short by 2 days because of forecast weather.
