Great new adventure and European experience. My wife and I truly enjoyed our entire vacation days and nights both on board and ashore. Great port visit selections and ashore excursion offerings. Sumptuous and great food selections and service on both dining areas. Smooth sailing throughout and communications kept clear both on paper and through ship sound/speaker system.
On the down side - Entertainment can be improve especially the nightly 4th deck singer / band. I know you can find a better singer somewhere. Song selections were not in tuned with his voice. We have seen and heard better singer than him. Entrance by the pool area leading to the Buffet restaurant had smoking tables.This is the only passage leading to the restaurant.This could be relocated away from the public who has asthma and breathing ailments. It is somewhat unhealthy and distracting. Dress code/rules to the buffet dining area. Flyers were given that "NO SHIRTS" will be allowed to dine. The rule was broken several times and the people at the entrance dispensing antibacterial did not even stop these people. Rules are rules and it is distracting to have shirtless people getting food right next to you. Its annoying and uncalled for!!!
Formal dining (Edelweiss) - What an exceptional dining experience!! Manuel (Head Waiter), Vela (Waiter), Vera (Asst. Waiter) did more than a five star service. Their attention to details and service focus truly stands out and noticeable throughout the entire journey - Service Par Excellence!!! Overall - It was a great cruise experience and would love to get on another cruise next year.
Outstanding housekeeping service; well maintained and exceptional service. Communicated well with the occupants and requests granted for added service without qualms; a sign of 5-star quality service.
