Review summary

Refurbished ship, excellent service by staff, friendly, affable fellow travelers with plenty of good food and spirits made this an excellent cruising experience.  The ports were both educational and awe-inspiring, serene views.  The only drawback (and we didn't book the Paris tour since we have spent time there) is long commutes and little time in Paris.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice view from the balcony and although it was close to the elevators, it was quiet.

Ship tip

We miss the choice of complimentary movies on our stateroom television plus it was interesting to watch them in different languages. I'd return to that rather than having a pay-per-view.
