• 13 new cruise cabins were added (decks 7 and 8).
• All Deck 6 cabins (previously in Oceanview categories) were upgraded/outfitted with balconies.
• All passenger cabins were upgraded with flat TVs and decors were changed. All cabins and public areas were renovated – new decors, carpeting, soft furnishings.
• The ship’s Wi-Fi coverage was also upgraded (bow to stern).
• Digital Wayfinders (multilingual LCD touch-screen displays) were installed throughout most passenger lift areas. They provide passengers with information on scheduled events, promotions, deck plans, dining menus and times, ship map directions.
• On Lido Deck 9 two new lounges were added – “Concierge Club” and “Diamond Club”. The complimentary “Park Cafe” (bistro-style restaurant) was added to the Solarium (indoor pool area).
