This was our 4th time on this class of ship and each time I fall in love all over again. The ship is small enough that you can navigate well, elevators go to most floors (forward ones go higher) and basically three floors is where everything is located. My review will be formatted a bit different but I wanted to touch on some things that do not seem to be addressed in other reviews.

Collector's Voyage: There are perks to this such as invites to lunches and cocktail parties and even a Pinnacle dinner. Two seven day segments were combined to make this a collector’s cruise so we were able to enjoy these extra perks. The first day we were given a list of the entertainment and movies so we could plan accordingly.

My opinion of ships condition: VERY GOOD! The ship’s hull was being repainted on our voyage although it did not appear it needed it. The lower promenade was constantly being worked on with grinding, repainting and such. They will occasionally block the area so you cannot walk by, but that would be for just a short period. Please note if your cabin is on the lower promenade you may be subject to some noise during the day due to ongoing maintenance. The carpeting on the stairs and around the elevators appeared to be new.
