The ship is beautiful; my husband loved the German construction of the vessel and some of the very creative sitting areas. The food presentations were innovative. I felt the portions were smaller than usual, however they were perfectly sized. Was very nice leaving dinner after sampling their creative offerings without feeling stuffed. Could have had more entertaining options and more fun events planned. When they did have events, the venues were never large enough to accommodate all who wanted to participate. The majority of their events throughout the day were sales based. The Tuscan Grill was great! Sushi restaurant was delicious, too. Qsine is a unique concept with ipads for menus offering unusual and interesting menu choices. The Lawn area was a refreshing open green space....better use of that part of the ship than the usual flowrider, rock-climbing wall or miniature golf area. Disappointingly, five of the seven nights, they had no venue for Elite guests. The staff is exceptionally friendly, kind and helpful. More engaging than on most of the cruise lines we have been on.
