Outstanding cruise... we booked the junior suite, huge room, balcony and bathroom, free mini-bar and gifts almost every night (chocolate, lotions, herbal teas, etc.). Access to the X-lounge, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks fully covered. Great restaurants, Palatial gym, super shows...
Staff was really friendly and helpful...
The ships are German so the primary language is German. However all the staff speak English and safety announcements are made in both German and English. There were several English, Italian and French speakers on the cruise and we had no problems understanding the crew...
Also, no room service - but there is a bistro open 24/7.
Basically, the best cruise we've ever had. We liked it so much we are going back on another cruise next year...
I recommend this cruise line to anyone, don't worry about the German language...
Outstanding - huge room, huge bed, huge balcony, largest bathroom I've ever had on a cruise ship.
