What she's like
A floating resort with the most to do. Expect lines at boarding, the buffet and tender boats. About 37 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
not published from line's site.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
Main dining, theatre shows, live music, gyms, kids' clubs (drinks, Wi-Fi and speciality dining cost extra)
