Divina truly is a beautiful ship. The color choices in the public areas are nice and most of the design choices throughout the ship are tasteful, if sometimes eclectic. The multiple pool areas and bars are well designed and the main theater is particularly nice. The atrium features Swarovski crystal staircases which you'll either think are very elegant or very gaudy (ask how much each stair costs before deciding).

I was impressed by the food on the Divina and really have zero complaints about how the food was prepared or what was offered, especially the wide variety of fresh fruit available. Divina has 2 specialty restaurants and a third that apparently is open only certain days. We ate at the steakhouse restaurant twice and service was excellent. What I didn't like was the ala carte prices for everything on the menu, which pushed the cost of our meals over what I expected a cruise ship restaurant to charge.

Something to keep in mind when cruising on Divina is that it's a big ship with a lot of people. Just how many people are on board is clearly evident at busy times in the buffet and up on deck when looking for available chairs. If you're used to cruising on smaller ships, the number of cruisers on Divina can feel overwhelming. (Personally, the larger number of people made me uncomfortable.) Read more
