Ship Quality

Clean ship. Different layout with the Windjamer in the front of the ship, made it a little challenging in the rough seas.

Cabin / Stateroom

Smallest double cabin I've been in for a long time, but was fine for a week long cruise. Steward was great and cabin was clean.

Ship tip

Smaller ship with the Buffet in bow of deck nine. If you are prone to motion problems, take your meals in the main dining room in the stern of the ship.
