Review summary

I don't believe I've ever had such a relaxing cruise experience, maybe because there were 8 days at sea and only 4 in my party. We took part on more activities than we ever have (Podeum talks, art classes, entertainment, stretch and meditation) Really enjoyed your speciality drinks and found Ilia at the World Club and James at the Eden bar to be a delight. Would look for them on our next 2026 cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
So many options in the way of places to eat and food selections.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
enjoyed the arts and crafts but would have expected the cruise staff to have everything set up and ready to go. Plus they were always short of seats/tables.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent. In the smaller venues it would have been nice to have 2 shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Particularily enjoyed Bibek our waiter and Jan our Sommelier. Both were very attentive, friendly, made great suggestions. We made sure we sat in their section. We also used the services of Preetum another Sommelier, who was excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Spotless, absolutely loved the ship more than any other we've been on. I never choose a cruise based on ship or series, but now I would! I also appreciated that it wasn't designed for families because it provided more adult friendly public space outside.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It too was spotless. Loved the Infinite Veranda because it was part of our everyday living space as we never shut the bi-folds. Loved the bubble shower as it gave more elbow space. Fantastic storage. For some reason, my Samsung phone never charged properly in the USB ports. Thankfully I brought along a portable charger.

Ship tip

If in an Infinite Veranda get a room where the bed is next to the window, not next to the couch.
