Sail Date: Aug 2012
Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Our stateroom with balcony was very nice. Clean, with lots of room to store everything from our 2 large suitcases, one carry on, 1 overstuffed suit-bag and sundries. The bed was a little uneven. We kept the two together. Attendant was good and kept us well supplied in towels and even found me a sewing kit when I ripped one of my formal dresses. The ship is obviously older but in great shape and well kept. I understand it was re-outfitted and it looks very nice. Someone was always cleaning something and the crew is very friendly. We had fun and will probably go back in about 4 years for the same cruise again with different excursion choices.

Food: Windjammer Cafe - the Buffet Haven! Breakfast and Lunch for us! Breakfast was very extensive. Lots of choices. Lunch had the flair of the night before's dinner in some dishes and definitely in the desserts. Never ate dinner there. Food was fine and what you'd expect from a buffet. Dress is casual at all times.

Edelweiss - Main dining room. Assigned dinner time unless you get my time dining reservations. We scheduled it online well in advance. You dress well every evening - which means more clothes. 2 formal nights. Some go all out. You can rent a tux on-board. Never any tank-tops or shorts allowed. Food was good. Service was good. Ate lunch there one day. The food was fine. The seating was as you came in you got the next open space till the table was full - and then they started the next table. This is fine if you like meeting people. The people they sat us with were rather rude. The food was good but we stuck to the windjammer after that. We didn't have to dress there and it was fine for a quick bite on sailing days.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

Stateroom 7556 - Superior Ocean View with BalconyQuiet location - if you want to sleep - you can't really hear the music in the centrum or any of the venues on the deck below. Bed - if you have them together - they are uneven. One is about 2 inches lower than the other. Balcony - nice place to sit out with coffee and to look at the stars at night.We had a lot of luggage and we had enough room to hang up, shelve or put everything in drawers. The ship's speakers do not work in this room so we had to stand near the door to hear announcements.
