Saw it, booked it on a whim. Looked like we might get the pampering we needed. Not disappointed. This ship is sooooo clean! Entertainment was so professional and lots of them, the crowd gave them several standing ovations which they deserved. Food in dining room was good. You could be on Weight Watchers and NOT! All there. Not large fill-up serves. You can always get extra entree salad, whatever, extra lobster tail. No problem. went smoothly for the number of people coming in but the disembarkation best ever, came off on gangway at deck 2. No worries at all. Our inside cabin same as the balcony excluding the actual balcony. Or it looked like it did. King size bed. Large bathroom. Nightlight in bathroom. Quiet, couldn't hear neighbours or the engines for that matter anywhere on the ship except a couple of times in the buffet on level 14 which was something else. We have visited the ports lots of times always find something new as its quite safe to wander around. Shops on board quite beautiful with lovely staff to look after your needs. This is an upmarket ship so the drinks come in at a higher cost which is to be expected. Overall highly recommend this ship.

Cabin Review

Cabin Inside 8

Very clean, well serviced. King size bed with large bathroom, and so much storage in the bathroom and bedroom. Two comfy chairs, plus desk and chair. It was great.

Port Reviews

Isle of Pines (New Caledonia)

Pretty laid back island. Walked the beach, sand is so soft and white that its like baby powder under your feet. Didn't swim, most people did though. Crystal clear water.

Noumea

This is a pretty resort type city of 250,000+ people. Its french, its expensive, its the totally different from the laid-back islands surrounding it. A commercial oasis. Lots and lots of yachts. Amedee Island is the best trip we've ever.done. The Tchou Tchou is popular. Been there multiple times over the last 40+ years.
