Great space reminds me of ships of old. Shame the rest of the fleet apart from OrianA don't have this space. Should be a ship wide venue

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Amazing as always....eveeything done with a smile. Very chatty. Kept room tidy and went the extra mile all the time. Made the holiday feel extra special. Dinning room staff amazing had freedom dinning but requested same waiter most nights. Knew our menue desires but day 5. 5 stars to all on board. Captain kept us well informed when we missed Amsterdam because of bad weather and went the extra mile to make our day at sea extra special. 5 starts all round.
