We just completed Christmas week on Divina. Reading prior reviews we were quite apprehensive as we are new to cruise holidays. In our opinion this was "first class" all the way.

Embarking and disembarking is seamless and extremely efficient. From the minute you board Divina you will be impressed by the beauty of the ship and it's spotless condition., it is overwhelming. We had a cabin with a balcony, it was spacious, lots of cupboard space and the bathroom more than adequate and an excellent design. Friends had an inside balcony which was very small, for the extra cost would recommend balcony. Cabin steward Mohammed was extremely attentive to detail, there wasn't an occasion we left the room that he wasn't there refreshing towels and cleaning. Contrary to other reviews you have body wash, shampoo and face cloths in your room. As one review mentioned the only downside are smokers who disobey regulations and smoke on the balcony. This did cause some problems with allergies and although a complaint registered I think it is difficult for staff to monitor.

Our food service was in Villa Rosa1st sitting. The food choices and quality was excellent. Impressed with our server who always advised on request which dishes he recommended. His choices were always perfect. I was amazed that the salmon, that was always on the menu as an alternate, was cooked to perfection. All meat served was tender and a good selection of lamb, veal, beef etc. always a vegetarian option and if you get a dish you are not happy with they will whisk it away and in seconds bring an alternate. Service excellent. Read more
