In-Room Dining
We appreciated some extras not common on most cruise ships, including DVD player, a fruit basket and a bathtub.
Complimentary DVDs loaned to guests is a perk not common on most ships. The catalog of titles ranged from The African Queen and Rear Window to year-old releases—nearly 1,000 in all. Recent offbeat releases, such as Pan’s Labrynth and Volver, were stocked, along with family films, documentaries and quality TV series like The Sopranos and Mad Men. The DVDs are available by calling the front desk, and treats can be delivered with the flick—popcorn (free), candies, chips and snacks ($1).
On arrival there was an empty metal bowl with a card inviting us to order fruit for the room, including apples, bananas, pears and oranges. We made our selection and the bowl was refilled as needed each day. A basket for shoe-shining service was also available.
