We boarded at Dover where the boarding process was a little chaotic. The shore staff seemed to have run out some types of colored cards and started handing out different colours for the same boarding group so rather confusing! We got on-board and our suite by 12 though.
Once we got on-board, things were great and we had our lunch at the Lido and got our bags in our suite by 1.30 pm.
Food: Pinnacle was excellent especially the Sommelier's dinner. If you had to choose between Le Cirque and the Sommelier's dinner - pick the Sommelier's dinner. Tamarind was okay (especially the soups) but the dim sum and entrees were not great. I would clarify that we are Singaporean Chinese so maybe our taste buds are jaded...The main dining room was very good and I would do fixed dining again. Lido was a decent buffet dining restaurant (hotel coffee house standard). The beer and sausage fest poolside dinner on the Berlin shore day was a very nice event too.
Fabulous aft wrap around balcony. Spacious room. Slept well and did not feel much motion despite being in the aft.
