Tell me about the Opera - Mediterranean Sept.05

Considering booking the Opera for the Mediterranean in Sept.05 and would like to have some feedback from passengers who have been on this new ship. I am normally a Celebrity fan but think they are pricing themselves out of the market. I know they have a great product but I am willing to try something different and hopefully less expensive with good itineraries.

I did speak to a rep in their new Fort Lauderdale agency and she was very helpful and very pleasant. I am currently awaiting their 2005 brochure.

Your honest evaluations of the Opera would be appreciated (food, service, accommodation, entertainment, etc.).
