Comfortable but somewhat dated ship in need of a major overhaul. Exterior needs stripping and repainting. Suites are tired but clean and comfortable they need updating to Cloud-Muse standards with walk-in showers. The ship’s motion can make getting into the present tub showers hazardous.

Excellent service from long service crew members not so much from recent mass market ship hires. Entree preparation was variable at dinner in all venues, ranging from excellent to poor. La Terrazza buffet for breakfast and lunch, good food and variety. Good selection of house wines, old and new world to match our tastes. Afternoon tea had good selection of teas and scones with clotted cream a real treat. Bars well supplied with global premium brands of liquor and mixes. Cocktails well made by experienced congenial barmen, who remembered your preferred drinks. Pool bar good spot to watch sunset. Main bar had a delightful trio playing music for cocktails every night. Our preferred and most comfortable spot. Chairs uncomfortable in Panorama and pianist drowned out conversation. Nice selection of canapés served with cocktails.

Enjoyable cruise experience in spite of irritants.
