The ship is just the right size. Not too big....we still felt like we had plenty of room and not overcrowded. We were also able to have some of the same staff and get to know them a bit. We were lucky enough to get upgraded to a Jr. Penthouse Suite, even though it was a handicapped room. We were on a long cruise - Cities of Antiquities, so we needed to do laundry. Not a problem. There is a self serve mini launderette on each floor with guest rooms. Took a little studying to figure out the directions, but soon figured it out. The detergent is included so you won’t have to bring any.

We have cruised many times and can honestly say that the dining options and availability was great!!! Room service is available 24/7. We only used it for breakfast one day, but it was delivered promptly at the time we requested.

We ate most of our lunches at the Pool Side grill. Nice salads and hamburgers/hot dogs, etc. The World Cafe also had several “themed” night options. They also have The Restaurant for a little bit finer dining. The Chefs Table and Manifreddis are their specialty restaurants. No extra charge, but you do need to make a reservation. Read more
