Gigantic ship with just about everything we wanted on board plus lots we didn't want or need. Extremely port intensive but what a fabulous route taking in 6 different countries and 12 ports with only 1 sea day. Venice, Ravenna, Koper, Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Bari (stayed on board), Corfu, Valetta, Messina, Naples, Civittavecchia (straight to airport). All definitely worth a visit but not all a "must return" port, except Venice of course.
We opted for a guaranteed veranda cabin and were delighted to get one on "the hump" which has a larger balcony than most and very close to the lifts, so no long corridors for us. Space is perfectly adequate and larger than many European hotel rooms, bathroom fine, bed large but drawer and hanging space is limited. TV picture quality poor but only a complaint as the Euro Football tournament was on - otherwise would not have bothered.
We ate in the main dining room every evening and most breakfasts too as we were perfectly satisfied with their "normal" offerings so didn't see the need to go to any of the speciality restaurants. I do think however that the overall standard and choice was slightly inferior to Constellation last year. Lunch was either on shore or late in the buffet. Careful choices there produced great food too. We opted for outside tables as we are both sun-lovers and crowd-haters. Dinner companions were pleasant, friendly, good conversationalists and not at all loud, unlike some on neighbouring tables.
6238. Easy access from lifts, no extraneous noise, adequate size, "obstructed view" is merely a small lifeboat on the deck below and no barrier to enjoyment, balcony slightly larger than standard being on the hump.
