A new ship, only in the water 7 weeks when we boarded. The Air/Sea packlage included an up-grade to their Business
Class which in fact was full 1 st Class+ for only $995 over coach. Only 320 max guests with 206 very professional crew in
every respect. We only had 285 guests as many came alone. Food service is the best of all 18 ships I have been on, in
fact at least 5 Star. Great wines were unlimited and included with lunch and dinner. Open seating except if you want to
eat a Special French Dinner lby rerservation. They servered least 8 courses. If you pick that you are invited to the
Connoisseur Room for wines + 30 minutes before dinner

We saw 5 islands some you only read about in books like Bora Bora and Moorea. Their tenders are in fact fully enclosed
small ships A truly Luxury Small ship. Our cabin was 249 sq ft with a 56' Verandah. Cabins ran from minium of 200' to
342 ft. all with fully stocked and restocked bars all included. Great ship for those who love water sports it has everything.
Including a large sea level water platform.

Up until this cruise all our ships had 800 to 1200 guests never again ones that large... you WILL love it.
