We have been with Scenic before, and enjoyed this even more than previously. The ship is well designed, and there seems more space in the cabins than before. Meals are generally good, although at times there were dishes that cooked to my taste (vegetables rather too al dente and roast potatoes never crisp, although the main irritation was the time taken to serve the first course in the evening. Neither were we sure why the dress code is jacket or tie for men but virtually nobody adheres to it. Not therefore the smartest of cruises, and not really therefore matching up to the smartness of the ship and staff.

The self-guided tours with handheld are a brilliant idea, but they need a lot more work to become easily usable. There are no clear directions to the various marked sites, which have no numbers to conform with the numbered list of sites the tour is meant to cover.
