We were looking for a 4-5 day cruise in mid February, and a friend of ours recommended this for us. My only complaint is that there are few (if any) cabins that have balconies. Other than that, everything was great! The ship is smaller and it is extremely easy to navigate. We signed up late and could only get the 8:15 main dining room seating. We were disappointed at first with our time, but after our week was complete we decided that we would always want to have the later time slot. [We are not much into shows]. The waiters were WONDERFUL, and the food was very wonderful as well. I like the fact that they offered options that were native to the places we were visiting. But if you aren't bold and daring enough to try them, there were plenty of the usual-type choices.

One thing that surprised me was that we never had trouble finding sun-bathing chairs on the Lido deck. We were on a much larger ship back in July (Bermuda) and it was very difficult to find a chair on the at-sea days.
