We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of our cruise experience, the first on such a big ship.
We were delighted to be upgraded to a suite following the double booking of our Concierge Class cabin and really appreciated the unexpected extra space and the perks that we received, not least being our very affable and efficient butler Rudolph. With his help, and the work of our two cabin attendants Newton and Brian we felt very well looked after and we enjoyed Newton's decorative touches with the towels.
We preferred to swim in the Solarium with its shaded pool which had much easier access then the outdoor pools. We appreciated the quietness of the area though regretted that the Captain's announcements at 10am were not broadcast there. The pool butlers worked hard to keep the area as free as possible from excess water, and falling a minor slip one day, one of them always enquired after my well-being.
2116. Suite. Opposite crew door but not a problem.
