Sail Date: Jul 2016
Cabin: Vista Suite with Verandah

Embarkation was a lengthy process because of a 1.5 hour wait post registration before actually getting onto the boat. We went for a Vista Suite - don't bother it is really a slightly larger balcony stateroom without any of the benefits of a real suite. Don't be fooled that it is a suite because it isn't.

Apart from that the ship itself was a beaut. Great food, staff and speciality restaurants. Service was very good on board, however the distinct lack of courtesy buses in some of the larger ports, also no taxis at the ports made life difficult, especially for those that had walking difficulties.

The entertainment was really good especially in the World Stage which had 360 degree video walls which greatly enhanced productions. We were disappointed that in 14 days there were only 3 production shows and on the odd night no shows, but entertainment that could easily have been done elsewhere on the ship.

Cabin Review

Vista Suite with Verandah

Cabin BC

As mentioned before this is not a suite, it is too small and doesn't come with the usual suite benefits.

Port Reviews

Nice port, took both boat and bus sightseeing trips

One of the best Norwegian ports of call, stunning scenery

Another great little port, take the train trip if you can - it's well worth it.
