I was concerned at the start of this cruise that, unlike all my past cruises, there were no days at sea and it would be a series of tedious touristy ports where trinkets are sold along side of Rolexes. It has turned out to be the most interesting and rewarding fun-filled ten days my wife and I have ever spent on a cruise ship.

This was our first cruise on a 'luxury' ship, as well as a ship with less than 2000 passengers. We traveled with 5 others. We had a suite, others in our party had verandahs, and one couple had an interior cabin, and no one had any complaints about their cabins. This cruise costs about $350 per day per person for a suite. On cruises on other lines we averaged 200-250$ per day for a superior verandah. If you do not drink a lot of hard drinks during the day, you can save $50-100$ a day on soft drinks, wine (lunch and dinner), coffees and all the pastries, grill food, snacks and savories that are free on this ship, but not on others. Other than bar bills, we had no other charges.

What a perfectly-sized ship. We were dwarfed by the other MCS/Carnival and especially one of those 6000 passenger 'ghetto of the seas' that passed by (we looked like a tug boat next to it.) When you get lost on this ship it is a short walk to your destination.

Cabin Review

Club Continent Suite

Cabin N1

8061 - Our suite was about the size of your normal mid quality superior veranda (300 ft) but so much better appointed with lots of storage. Very comfortable room. Butler service was superior.
