The embarkation was very easy, though it was busy. We dropped off our hand luggage in our cabin and then went to have a buffet lunch. Everyone smiles! A very nice atmosphere.
The gym has excellent, modern equipment. There is an excellent choice of DVDs to watch in the cabin. The library must be the largest on a small ship.
Some quibbles:
We were in Cabin 10089, concierge level. There is a small balcony. The bed is very comfortable and nice toiletries are provided. Lots of towels. A bottle of Champagne was cooling when we arrived. We never heard a sound from either side of us. The concierge lounge on Level 9 is a bonus.
