Some highlights of what we enjoyed most onboard the ship are no one was asking you to buy anything, there was no dressing up, free room service, and self-serve laundry, disembarkation at ports went very quickly due to the low number of passengers (around 600), having proper afternoon tea daily with entertainment and there’s no loud thumping music everywhere! If you want to have lobster every day you can at the buffet where items are cooked to order for you.

The ship handled my food allergies amazingly well. Every night at the cabin I would receive the menu for tomorrow and I returned it the next morning by 10 am, a lot better than receiving the menu at the table and having to order immediately as I do on other cruise lines.

The specialty restaurants are included and although you are given a set number to book with your reservation, you can go and speak to the specialty reservation desk and go as many times as you want, subject to availability. Most of the tables are sharing tables for 4 or 6 however they do have a few tables for 2.

In the cabin, your fridge is filled with complimentary soft drinks of your choice and you are given a reusable water bottle, with two large containers of water replenished twice a day in your cabin, as well there are water stations around the ship.
