Review summary

Had a wonderful time. The age demographic of the passengers definitely skews on the older side, so no wild late-night discos. But that equates to a quiet relaxing vacation, which was exactly what I wanted. Would highly recommend this ship and this itinerary.

Dining room was excellent - wonderful variety of selections, and the food was fantastic and beautifully presented. The buffet was hit or miss, and the selections were exactly the same every day.

The ship is beautiful - tastefully decorated. All the different bars and lounges had a different vibe so there's something for everyone.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was compact like all cruises are, but it was well apportioned so there's a place for everything. It even had a TUB, which was a wonderful surprise.
