The ship was much too big and crowded for being in the Baltic Sea in September, where NONE of the outdoor areas could be utilized, therefore, EVERYONE crowded inside.
This ship was on casual dining, which was fine, but could only make dining reservations for early dining [5:30 or 6:00], otherwise standing in line with the rest of the crowds. Would have made for a much nicer experience if we had been able to make a reservation at any of the dining rooms for any time they were open. Otherwise, the food was excellent.
The cabins were well maintained and spacious. The cabin personnel went above and beyond keeping them the cabin cleaned. The entertainment was entertaining! Getting off the ship in some ports was ridiculously slow, perhaps having a certain number of people disembark at a specific time slot would alleviate the line ups standing, waiting for up to an hour. Getting back onto the ship at each port was no problem. Initial embarkation onto the ship seemed very timely.
The cabin was excellent, well maintained by our cabin personnel. Although, paying the extra for a balcony in the Baltic Sea in September was a waste of money.
