Review summary

1} Although the cruise line emphasized dress code to maintain the elegance of the ship's ambiance in the Moonlight Sonata restaurant on Evening Chic (formerly Formal) nights, we noticed that it was not enforced. Since this is advertised well in advance of the cruise, the casual dressing violators should really be prepared for it.

2} The last dinner featured several special dishes which used to be offered on separate evenings so that this time missed out on one or more of them. The food was excellent at all times, but there was more repetition.

3} We missed the daily live classic string instrumental music that has been provided on almost every other cruise we have been on. 

4} The Captain's party events could be offered by membership levels due to the large amount of members. We tried to attend a couple of the events but they were so crowded that it was not enjoyable to stay.

The cabin could actually use more drawers (in the closet if nowhere else).
