Upgraded to mini suite/ balcony and loved it. Tub shower combo was good. Very smooth getting on and off the ship...the best we've ever experienced, cudos! The room was ready for our early boarding, nice touch. Since buffet would be crowded we went to Alfredo's for lunch and it was a gem!! Go there, try the ravioli, pizza, antipasti plate...and of course the piazza, all really good. We went to Sabatini for New Years Eve and it was very good, worth the upcharge. Buffet was always good, fresh and well presented...as other reviewer already said, only the soup was not that great. We had anytime dining, never a long wait.

The international cafe, aka coffee bar, was excellent. We got the beverage pkg and it was a value for us. Beautifully decorated for Christmas, really lovely

At ports, we found our own tours at each and were very happy with them. Lots of local history, etc. we learned a lot about each island. The itinerary was good. Read more
