Review summary

This was my first 14 night Transatlantic Cruise.   I was not sure how I would do with 7 days in a row at sea.  It turned out that I enjoyed the sea days.  The ship had a good floor plan and is easy to get around, beautiful and elegant modern ship.   Cabins are nice with clean lines and lots of storage.   For a ship bathroom it was very nice, good size with lots of drawers for storage. 

 

The ship had a great guest speaker that gave the history of the rise and fall of U-boats during WWII.   The speaker was a WWII British Commander.   The Glass show was interesting to see also.  I did not go to any of the nightly shows.  The music groups that played were good.  

 

The food in the MDR was great,  best cruise ship food I have had.  Buffet food was good.  Rooms service was MDR quality food but was slow.
