The review

The six Grand Suites give 474 sq ft and an outside balcony on the Violin Deck, roughly a third more space than the SA suites. Everything else on board, from the four restaurants to the included excursions, is shared with every guest. They suit couples who will spend real time in the room; for most, an SA suite gives most of the space for noticeably less.

For

  • 474 sq ft with an outside balcony on the top cabin deck
  • Only six on board
  • Four restaurants, beer and wine at meals and port excursions included

Against

  • 40–45 per cent more per night than an SA suite
  • Single travellers pay a 100 per cent supplement on the Owner's and Grand Suites
  • Gratuities and premium drinks are extra
