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.
