One of the first things I noticed was the space everywhere. Even though this is a small vessel it did not feel small or cramped. The reception area is open and inviting, without overwhelming guests or distracting their attentions. In the hallways 2 people are walk shoulder to shoulder instead of walking tandem, and passing a wheelchair did not require climbing a wall to let them pass.

The cabins we saw were very well laid out with plenty of walking room around the beds and furniture, no side-stepping. The bathrooms were beautiful and roomy with separate tub and shower. I loved the large walk-in closets in all categories we saw, even the Vista cabins.

The elevators, on the other hand, were very tiny, leaving an almost claustrophobic feeling. We could get 3 people in there without touching each other, 4 people were very cozy with shifting, but a 5th person would have you squished together. I'm really not sure how a wheelchair and 1 person would fit.

The art and decor were very subtle and elegant. Nothing jumped out at you, requiring notice, however the placement of various pieces invited you to pause and reflect, as if in an intimate art gallery. Many interesting and unusual pieces throughout.

The Internet Cafe was nicely set up with privacy cubicles, allowing you to hook up your laptop or use theirs. The ship is also set up for wi-fi throughout. We found out the Panorama Lounge was a great area to hide away in a peaceful setting, either not yet discovered or not frequented due to the numerous other places on the ship to relax and visit.

The show lounge was also nicely laid out with easy walking between the aisles. Only slight shifting to maneuver into the sofa seats, while the individual seats were easy to get into and turned comfortably to allow viewing of the shows.

Dining was another wonderful experience. While I did not recognize most of what was on the menu, the presentations were appealing and food pairings were fabulous.
