Ship Quality

We had traveled on the Dawn last year, so were familiar with the layout and how to get around the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

First time trying an inside stateroom, and it was fine. Only had a problem one night when we were back early and could feel and hear the show in the theatre.

Service in Acqua seemed better than in Versailles.
