Overall great fun but the weather didn't cooperate. It rained almost every day so we couldn't spend much time on the decks (Aquavit Terrace or the Sun Deck). Staff went out of their way to ensure our trip was memorable. They are very well organized and everything works like clockwork. Embarkation, as well as disembarkation, were very well organized and went very smoothly. We went on a walking tour of our departure city and a friend and I bought flowers for our rooms. We asked at the reception desk for some vases and they were brought to our rooms within 5 minutes.

Since we were 4 couples traveling together, we knew we would not be spending much time in our rooms so we ordered the Silver Spirits package. What a deal! Since it rained so much, we spent lots of time in the lounge area where the bar staff is amazing, especially Treyan and Laszlo. They are friendly and fun as well as knowledgeable of the products they serve. Being from North America, some of our mixed drinks are different from Europe. As long as we knew what the ingredients were, they would make it and one didn't have to tell them how a second time.

The dining room staff were friendly and efficient. It was actually my birthday during our cruise and I was treated to a wonderful cake (enough for all my group). Some foods stated on the menu are not quite what we expected but it was still good. I.E. their Caesar salad has tomatoes and corn in it.

Cabin was very clean. Loved the heated floors in the bathroom, it was a very nice touch.
