Flights and Embarkation: We were pleased with our requested Lufthansa flights, timely transfers and speedy delivery of bags.
Cabin: We were in the smallest class which was adequate for two. The bathroom was spacious with the shelf below. Recommend you bring some washing soap and clothespins as I think everyone did some hand washing. Cabins were very quiet and stable. We were on the gangway deck #4, but didn't notice any problem with offloading noise. If you are on deck #5 you might not want to be near the internet room which is open 24hrs.Room Steward was great. Telephone directories were being redesigned so we never got one.
Dining Rooms: We found the Marco Polo had more gourmet food, but we preferred the views and atmosphere of the open deck of the Terrace Buffet. The sunsets were incredible and our new friends all ate there. Our waiters, Henry and Harun were anticipating our preferences by the third night. Food was mostly good, slightly repetitive by second week. Liked wines.
