They were clearly meant to be game-changers among midsize, balcony-studded cruise ships targeting reasonably well-heeled cruisers who appreciate luxury but revel in value pricing.
Highlights
- Marina boasts a wide range of sublime dining options.
- The ship offers guests a hands-on gourmet cooking experience at the Bon Appetit Culinary Center.
