The ship is really great. Plenty of space we never felt crowded. The Delux Veranda Suite is well worth the money both in form of space, and the veranda outside which was huge. We had 2 lounge chairs, two chairs with ottomans, and a round dinning table with 4 chairs, and plenty of room in between them. We could order off the dinner menu and eat on our veranda. The room had huge closet space with a CD player, DVD player and nice size TV. We were provided bath robes, the suite include pressing, laundry, and dry cleaning services at no charge, which I wished I knew before we packed.
The food in the Pinacle room was excellent and worth the upcharge of $20 each, but so was the dinning room food. We had room service every morning on our veranda from room service which was great, or as suite guests we could go to the Pinacle room for breakfast. AT 5:00 each day we had both hot and cold appetizers delivered to our room (high tea) but we always skipped the tea. They were really nice. I had only been on one cruise before and it took 15 years to get me to try another. I lost 10 pounds on my first cruise because the food was not edible, I tried to control my eating on this one but still gained, the food was really very good.
I would highly recommend the extra money for the Delux Veranda Suite because it made the whole cruise worth it.
