Generally a fine cruise experience, but with enough jarring notes to leave a bad taste.
Good points - facilities are excellent and well-maintained. Health club and exercise program are not afterthoughts. Rooms are spacious and well-designed. This was a 14-day repositioning cruise with lots of at-sea time. Activities such as lectures were excellent, varied, and frequent. Concierge, room, restaurant, health club, spa, store, and bar personnel were uniformly excellent (concierge was outstanding).
Food was highest quality but a bit boring - menus felt like they came from 20-yr-old Gourmet issues (great ingredients but dated!). Lunch buffets were outstanding and varied. Main restaurant dinners were of the highest quality with excellent supporting wine lists; they should offer an anytime dining option in main restaurant.
