Comparisons with other cruises are always difficult to quantify accurately. Overall, this was a great vacation experience. The balcony room was just great, lots of room and kept immaculate by our attentive room staff.
The food at the three dining rooms was well done, but is not at the level experienced on Crystal Cruises. The casual eating places were full of variety and if you didn't like the food, there was something wrong with you because the range of choices were huge. The room service for breakfast arrived earlier than planned and that was great for the early morning departures that we had in some ports.
We took only one shore excursion from the ship (Delos) and it was top notch and actually better than Crystal Cruise experiences. The spa and health facilities were perfectly matched to the guests needs. The food service staff was really good.
Great location - away from traffic and with high seas it was less affected.
