Thanks for reading DanielW. I love your reports, so it's gratifying to know that you've read one of mine.

New smell is no joke...they hadn't hung all of the artwork yet. That included the Picassos in the huge suite.

Looking forward to seeing some more of the maiden voyage.

Mike&co - we realize we're fortunate to be able to do a luxury cruise. Though I wonder how far off it is from a cruise "one step down" if on that other ship you get a very large suite, drink a lot and go to specialty dining.

Linda VH - my problem is that I like all of the cruises...I have come to the conclusion that no cruise line or ship is perfect and as long as you pick from a certain few, pick the one that has the best itinerary.

Annalisa12 - That rope is great!

Look forward to the rest of the report.

JamieABZ -- Cruising is great. I wouldn't do it exclusively, but I really like it. Sea days are the best.

I'm on Celebrity Reflection on Monday round the Greek Islands and Turkey, can't wait - never managed to do a luxury one yet, but I will I hope. Enjoy the trip!
