I agree with another reviewer who pointed out how tired the cabins were. Our carpeting was frayed, there was rust along the door, furniture was scoffed and the pillows were lumpy. The PH cabins have a spacious, lovely walk in closet and the bathroom size is great.

The service staff was very good but our Butler was AWOL. Did not cancel specialty reservations when we asked. Did not provide a second Jacques reservation when asked on Day 1. Did not provide luggage tags for disembarkation (had to go to Reception).

Food was average - not great, not bad. Menus in the Terrace & Grand Dining Room (both offer the same selections) after a number of O cruises are boring & tired. No special of the day which was odd as this was a port intensive cruise where local fish available. Polo steaks were inedible - tasteless and tough - but that seems to a regular problem in that dining venue. Other guests complained to us about the poor quality served in Polo.

Cabin Review

Penthouse Suite

Very nice and spacious cabin with a walkin closet, roomy balcony and lovely bathroom. Suggestion: avoid PHs on level 11 as there is a big overhang from deck 12 that reduces visibility. Also, laundries are on each floor which is a nice touch.
