We chose this cruise to celebrate our anniversary and to see ports we had never seen before. The ship is beautiful and offers lots to do.

We did my time dining and ate at specialty restaurants for 7 nights. Jamie's Italian is fantastic. I've heard others complain about it, but we found the food to be excellent. There's more to Italian food than red sauce. Chops remains an excellent steakhouse experience.

Wonderland... it's a hot mess. They're trying so hard to be different, but they try too hard. I didn't like that we were presented a menu but not allowed to make our own choices by the waiter because it was our first time there. He ordered dishes we wouldn't have chosen, going only by the "do you have any allergies" question to guide his choices. No, we don't have allergies (and we don't tell servers we have allergies to things we don't like - that's an insult to people who have to worry about those things) but when he brought out dishes made of things we don't like it just took the air out of our sails. Had we been able to make our own choices (as the diners seated after us who had been there before) we would have had a much better time.

No noise issues with the cabin. Design is well thought out and there are plenty of outlets. It feels spacious even though it is not a big room.
