Review summary

The crew, stateroom attendant and butler were outstanding. However, the suite is definitely not worth the extra cost. The food in the Luminae restaurant clearly has dropped in quality from when we last were on the Millenium and the menu is the same (but on different days) as in Blu and the main dining room. No fresh fish even though they were at major fishing ports in Alaska and Japan. Everything is put on the ship in Miami and frozen. No fresh berries. Suites are comparable in price to Crystal which has far better food and amenities.

Buffet on 9th floor Excellent. Luminae a major disappointment. Food no better than any other public venue.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Outdoor pool not heated which was a major detriment as we were only in cold weather. We had to organize bridge on our own. Other comparable cruiselines all heat pools. Also did away with library which doesn't fit the generation who typically sail with them.
