We chose this for the price and itinerary. Balcony room comfortable. We had the partition removed between our room and friends making for a spacious sitting area we all enjoyed. I had heard complaints about the ship pitching and rolling but everything mild so far. Ship well kept. Food in dining room slower than other cruises but delicious and attractively served. We are a mostly vegetarian group and there were creative choices. Staff friendly and eager to serve. I have a friend in a wheelchair and staff helped her numerous times. Buffet good but often lines. Dining room much more pleasant. Went to a tea in dining room and it was lovely too. Entertainment better than average. Do not see any dress codes enforced. A lady wearing a thong in programs and flip flops and short shorts in dining room.
