This ship and its staff are fantastic! We chose a Penthouse Suite because the price difference was small and the room was much larger. There were a few kinks the first night because on the first trip from Miami some passengers had stolen linens, towels, and alarm clocks from the stateroom. The linens were nice as was the alarm clock but it is unfortunate that Americans that can afford a cruise would stoop that low.

The crew, even though they were ironing out some initial kinks, couldn't do more to please you. They seemed happy with each other and to be working on the ship. It's very interesting as it is a real U.N. with crew from all over.

Requesting to eat with a large table every night enabled us to meet many interesting people. All of them were well traveled and there were few complaints. Food was the best that I have had on 41 cruises. It is, however, even better in the Polo Grill. Check with the Maitre D' at breakfast to see if there are openings that night. You will likely get a table if you are flexible about time and are willing to eat with others. Read more
