Review summary

We had a great time and were so spoiled. About the ship, it is by far one of the most beautiful ships that we had sailed on. For this cruise, although there were almost 3000 cruisers on the ship, we never felt crowded. The fellow cruisers are seasoned cruisers who knows how to enjoy a quiet and relax atmosphere and are courteous to each other. We did open seating dining. We never had to wait for a table for two. In fact, they saved the same table for us every night. The food was great and the server and assistant spoiled us every night. I loved the fitness center that has all kinds of the equipments and it was never very crowded. The Persian Garden was great and is a wonderful place to rest after spending a long day onshore. Also I provided some feedbacks to the staffs and they got back to me quickly and showed sincere appreciation to feedbacks from cruisers. I was impressed. All in all, we loved the ship, the crew and the itinerary. We will cruise on it again.

Cabin / Stateroom

Water, ice tea and fruits are served everyday at the room. On the first day, there was a bottle of Champagne for us (a nice gesture).

Ship tip

Most cruisers dined at the Main Dining Room or specialty restaurants. The food was great at these places. But, if you like to dine alone in a quiet place, you can do the buffet.

Ports of call
