Review summary

a beautiful ship with great staterooms, equivalent to the best hotel rooms. food was wonderful, and we are gourmet diners. service complements the food. comfortable public areas and a great promenade deck. large swimming pools and many jacuzzis. very stable ship even in rough seas. round trip from new york is a plus even for those who do not live in this region.

Pros: departing and returning to new york-no need for airline transport. ship is very luxurious and extrememly stable even in rough seas. crew is fabulous and very attentive, and the food compares favorably with that served on premier cruise lines like seabourn

Cons: large ship, occasional long lines, uninteresting ports such as st thomas and tortola
