Thanks very much for the honest opinion.
We usually book longer cruises (24 days & up), so the privacy when we want it is important to us.
Unfortunate, because the ship size & itineraries really suit us.
Buffet 3x/day for an extended period would be torture. All other lines we've cruised with accommodated us, & others. whenever a table for 2 was requested.
Always wanted to try this line because of the ship size/itineraries but this is a deal breaker for us unfortunately.
