I wanted to love this cruise so I could go on this ship again.I have been on a lot of cruises,this is the most beautiful ship,but that alone is not enough to bring me back.Embarkation was fast & easy but that could be because I was in the Yacht club.the suite was smaller than other ships suites I've been on,however it was very nice with a closet ,tub,marble vanity & a pillow menu which was needed ,the pellet pillows were on the bed.I was not sure the extra perks were worth it until I went to the buffet ,really needed some vegtables,the Le muse restaurant was good for the most part steak was excellent ,as was the lobster pasta dishes could have been better.Anyway the buffet offering was pizza ,fish ,thin slices beef and green beans.everything else was fruit & salads.The desserts were very few & didn't look very appetizing,save myself some calories there.

Some things were odd to me, I like to eat breakfast early,we had 24 hr room service but could not get breakfast items til 7:30.the top sail also served at 7:30 & the restaurant at 7:00.It was inconvenient to get to the restaurant,you had to take elevator to 7th walk through the photo area that was crowded & narrow then take the elevator to the 15th otherwise you walked outside on a wet deck dodging chairs & people.Also the desserts looked beautiful in the atrium area but at a price.

I did not think there was enough to do during the sea days .I saw 3 shows that were very good,nice theater.It was a different vibe for us in the evening always felt like the lone american,which would be fine if you spoke several languages.The private pool was great except very little shade,wine ,cocktails were excellent so I think it was worth it as a one time thing to stay in the yacht club ,I had planned to sail on this ship again in a balcony room in a couple of months ,but realized you do get what you pay for,cheap price on cabin ,not so good buffet,pay for the good desserts,no afternoon tea (they did have tea in Topsail) if any of these things are important to you ,you might want to reconsider.The Staff I had interaction with were very nice & professional.
