The ship does show its age a bit but it was the perfect size for us. Not a mega ship by all means. There were no crowds in key areas of the ship and the staff was very attentive. The waiters who took care of my husband and I were super! We always choose My Time Dining and after day 3, we asked for the waiter's name and station when checking in to be seated. The shows were ok, and the cruise entertainment staff did their best to entertain the guest in the Centrum area. The ports were nice and the tours we took were very informative and we saw a lot of nice places and ruins in Croatia and Greece. We opted out of Kusadasi Turkey and just walked around the area because we have already been to Ephesus - if you haven't - its a must! Venice is also a must see prior or after the cruise. What a great city!!!!
We chose the larger inside stateroom and it was ok - you lose the mini fridge and some storage space but it did not feel so cramped. The ship also offered the premium coffee card. I was so excited to see that. The coffee in the main dining room and cafes is not that great so when I saw the offer for $35 for 15 selections, I jumped on it. Their premium coffees and lattes were excellent and 15 selections was perfect for 2 people who love coffee. Glad RCL decided to do this - Princess Cruises does and you can pay for the coffee card prior to your cruise, which is a great idea.
All in all, we had a nice time and enjoyed the ship.
