Good to know
- Dress code
- Split "Evening Casual" vs. "Black Tie/Formal" system, roughly 1 night/week baseline scaling to 2-4 on longer cruises -- formal remains a standard fixture, not phased out like most mainstream peers.
- Dining
- Main dining included; specialty extra.
- Onboard vibe
- Generally a traditional, dressier atmosphere and family-friendly, mainstream energy.
- Price positioning
- Mid-market (editorial tier across its fleet, not a live fare).
