We booked a last minute deal for this cruise and were assigned a mini suite about a week before we embarked. The room was nice and kept clean and neat throughout the week so no complaints there. However the location for our room 11032 happened to be under the pool deck and a ping pong table. Let me say that we would have preferred a quieter cabin. Getting a good nights sleep was difficult.

Best thing was the thermal spa package we purchased ahead of time for about $130 each and the 3 specialty dining package for about $80 each. We used the steam room, sauna etc. daily and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Cagneys steakhouse was the best and the Le Bistro was a close second but we were disappointed with the Brazilian bbq service but not the food.

We were satisfied with the buffet especially after we discovered the quiet place to eat lunch. The two main dining rooms that were complementary, Tzar and Azura, were below average, in my opinion, in both service and food quality. We spoke with others who had the opposite opinion about all of the places however so keep that in mind. Make your reservations early though because we saw many unhappy diners waiting to be seated.
