Review summary
Most important thing about a cruise is to know what to expect and what you are getting into. For us, this ship is not to big, not to small, the cruise length is just right for an extended weekend getaway. Excellent time of the year, both in weather and for a couple wanting a cruise that does not make you feel like you are in a floating chucky cheese. Have been on this ship twice now and it has been excellent. My wife is a chef and I am a home baker and we are food snobs, BUT we LOVE the food on this ship. We ate 100% at the windjammer cafe (the buffet lines), and were totally satisfied with the selection. Even the french fries were (pomme fritte-euro-quality). We will be back on this ship again. Spa staff just the best, as is all the rest of the crew.

Ship tip
This is not a mega ship, so do not compare it to such. The food in the Windjammer is so good, the main dining room or specialty restaurants are not really needed, unless it is your desire. Get the thermal spa package if you are a couple, you get private spa rooms with heated ceramic lounge chairs.
