Very disappointed. This ship was billed as a top of the line luxury cruise, but for me that was far from the truth. First, one of the main reasons I booked this cruise was to see St Tropez. After I booked and paid for the cruise I was informed That the ship was going to a different port farther from St Tropez which added hours more to the driving time to get there and back and turned it into a 14+ hour excursion.

As for the all inclusive premium wines, they were not so premium. If you wanted premium wines however you could have them for an additional charge of $15.00 to $45.00 a glass for a skimpy machine measured pour. As for the food in the restaurants, it was not on the level I expected and the speciality restaurants had many of the same dishes on all their menus. The room service was terrible, the food would always come to the cabin cold, the eggs were overcooked and the bread on a sandwich I ordered was stale around the edges. Be careful when ordering the sushi at their Japanese restaurant, the sea urchin I ordered was rancid. I could tell by looking at it that it was old but put a small piece of it in my mouth to make sure and had to spit it out. Any sushi chef with minimal training could tell it was no good by looking at it.

The cabin itself was very nice, but I was unable to control the air conditioning to my liking because it was centrally controlled by the ship. You are unable to turn it off and when I had it set to the warmest setting it was still to cold. I called maintenance twice but they were unable to adjust it to my comfort level.
