Overall
Impression. As soon as you step
onboard, this boat gives the appearance
of being in a class by itself. The boat
features an expansive marble lobby,
and a feeling of opulence. Full of
chandeliers, highly polished woods,
overstuffed comfy chairs, and beautiful
wider hallways with light sconces on
each side. This is a very impressive
ship. It is obvious immediately that
this has a higher price tag. If you like
the old world styling of rich woods and
a truly opulent feeling, particularly if
you take one of the larger suites, this
is your ship. There will be more
Americans aboard this boat. I would not
hesitate to recommend this boat - it is
a beautiful vessel.
Regular cabins
are 150 sq. ft – Junior suites, 183 sq.
ft. Larger suites, 300 sq. ft.
Standard cabins and Junior suites
have a small rounded glass desk, two
closets - one with two drawers, safe,
mini refrigerator, wall mounted TV,
chair, and two night stands with three
drawers. Head boards have recessed rope
lighting. The cabins feel very nice.
The bathroom features marble
countertops. Most feature French
balconies.
There are some
special suites (categories, 2, 4, 5) at
the beginning and end of the hallways
that worked well with an angled bed.
These suites had two comfortable chairs
and table and another chair for the
desk. A wall mounted television.
Not sure of the size
of the cabin but
larger than
the Junior Suites.
The
cabin features a larger bathroom
than the standard
suite, no tub, just a
shower.
This ship has the
largest suite we saw. A lot of space
with a sitting area with a love seat and
one chair, a large separate desk with an
upper shelf and drawer space. Another
unit with the TV on top that can be
viewed from the bed or sitting area with
more storage. Two closets with hanging
space with two drawers and shelving
unit. The bathroom featured a bath tub,
separate shower and storage space.
Positives
- Wine, beer or
soft drinks included with lunch and
dinner.
- ALL shore
excursions included.
- TIPS are all
included both on the ship and on the
tours.
- Bottled water
included in the cabin.
- Nice back
lounge with drinks and snacks 24
hours.
- Have a feeling
their included tours will be among
the best.
- Closet feature
side to side hanging.
- Really a
stunning ship with a great ambiance
Negatives
- Not fair to
judge on a light meal but very
unimpressed with my chicken noodle
soup, club sandwich and fresh fruit.
- Internet is
available on one terminal free of
charge but no wireless and no
internet available in your cabin by
the television.
- For this price
tag - no real balcony.
