Review summary

Good cruise with a couple of ideas how to improve it.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The Suite Lounge is very pleasant but it only has a fraction of the food available in the buffet. The sit-down breakfast is cumbersome. Ideally, there should be a separate, full buffet, available the same hours as Windjammer, for the suite passengers.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Fine cabin but: the refrigerator did not work and it should have a proper king-size bed, not two singles bunched together.
