Review summary

They tried very hard with special meals but still could do better. Give them a a for effort. Food was not as good as on our ‘usual’ line. Staff is super friendly. Nice spaces on ship

Everyone was happy to help

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Design was nice, ship was very clean. Don’t like the style of decoration though. We are traditional and the ship was very much modern art

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Actually we were in 11267, got upgraded to concierge class. Still don’t like the infinite veranda, would prefer a real balcony

Ship tip

If you want a real balcony, book a balcony. These are not the same

Glad you enjoyed your itinerary. I think I would like the balcony too. But some feel they like more room with what you had.
