Verdict

– Cruise Passenger

We liked that all of the suite felt spacious, including the bathroom and the veranda. The Klanghaus, advertised as the only concert hall at sea, is a really nice venue. I listened to a piano trio there and the sound is very good indeed. We liked the “Surf & Turf” steakhouse best with its diverse meat offerings on display for you to choose from, the perfectly done steaks and other dishes as well as the excellent service. The atmosphere created by the whole team made it so much more enjoyable to eat there
