This is a very well-run ship that does almost everything right. It caters mostly to families and older couples, though there were several honeymooners and young couples that seemed to enjoy themselves.
We have been on well over 20 cruises with all the well-known cruise lines, all on different ships.
Embarkation and Ship Design: This is an older ship, 20 years old in fact, but has been very well-maintained. Unlike the newer, larger ships, it has wonderful outdoor promenades and many spaces to enjoy or get away from it all. The public space to passenger ration is very high and it never felt crowded. Lines are rare. Many areas had been tastefully remodeled and the ship has impressive art, including some wonderful antique maps and large 18th century Dutch Masters paintings.
Nice layout. Large, on promenade. Free upgrade from inside to obsturctied view outside.
