Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Favorite restaurant: Sabatini - Mihaela and her staff were amazing. Mihaela informed the chef and her staff that my husband was lactose intolerant. Damiano, the chef, ensured that his meals were lactose free. His Carbonara creation made me cry with joy when I watched my husband's expression eating it. He had multiple other meals that we changed to meet his dietary requirements. The whole team worked together on this. Crown Grill: Lamb and Steak - exquisite; wait staff was attentive. Ocean Terrace: Sushi, Sashimi and other seafood: Tasty

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was amazing. I loved having the extra balcony space. The suite provided us the opportunity to enjoy the cruise while another was sleeping. It's great to have a walk in shower. The bed was comfortable. Extra treat: Suite Concierge: Vanessa. Vanessa had a phenomenal amount of information. She helped us when we had challenges. Vanessa also recommended activities. The Concierge's team ensured that we had drinks and goodies through out the day.
