    1,186 passengers. Small enough that the crew start recognising you by about day three.

    A veteran — 1996. Older ships divide people: smaller, more characterful, often cheaper, and the fittings show their age in places. Plenty of people prefer them and say so loudly.

    You will not find waterslides or an ice rink. What you get instead is access: smaller ports, fewer tender queues, and a ship you can cross in a couple of minutes.

    Passenger-to-crew is around 3.3 to 1, which is on the lean side. Expect queues at the pinch points.

    From her deck plan: a spa, a dedicated kids area, a sports deck and a central atrium. That is what the layout shows — if something has been changed in a refit, correct us.

    Cabins run from deck 4 to deck 7 across 4 decks. The usual advice applies and applies harder on a ship this shape: mid-ship and low is the steadiest ride, and what sits directly above your cabin matters more than the view out of it.

    If you know this ship, the question people keep asking is which cabins to avoid. That answer only exists in people who have stayed in them.
