We were referred by a friend because she was dazzled by the beauty of the ship. It was very attractive if you enjoy white, black and silver opulence. The food was less than satisfactory. The ship was extremely crowded and noisy and catered mostly to young people or children. As seniors we found it very difficult to find a quiet space where we could look out at the sea and just read or relax, almost impossible. The only partly quiet times were when we were in port and guests left the ship. Our mistake was to not book a room with a balcony in which case we would have spent most of our time there. We did take an inside cabin which was most economical for us and it was adequate and clean and for the most part comfortable. The theatre shows were excellent, very, very professional and beautifully produced. Embarkation and debarkation was efficient and well done. Bar service was deplorable, almost impossible to get service and very limited. Staff was mostly foreign and understood very little English.
