Personal Impression
We were pleasantly surprised with the Salacia. Not knowing
what standards to expect we did not have high expectations. The
cabins on the Amassador level were very spacious and comfortable.
The cabins on the regular level were like standard small cabins on a
mass market American cruise ship. The public rooms nice particularly
the main lounge upstairs. The ships was full of Germans and we
actually found many of them to be very nice and friendly and some
spoke quite good English. The layout of the ship is
comfortable, the furnishing is very nice and the entire ship does have
a quality feel. The ship did offer some evening entertainment. We
had a whirling dervish who was excellent, pictured below.

Accommodations
The Ambassador level cabins were really nice - particularly the
main suites which were really spacious with separate living areas
and bedrooms. They would rival any suite on most major American
cruise ships. They must have been well over 400 square feet with the
two largest, the Imperial and Royal suites having 2 bathrooms.
The Ambassador club level has 7 suites and its own private lounge.
If you can afford to splurge here I would do so. The standard cabins
are acceptable, similar to the cabins on any mainstream American
cruise ship. The bathrooms in all the suites are TINY. Small
sink shower and toilet. Only one in the bathroom at a time. |

Public Rooms and Dining
The public areas are very nice particularly the main lounge
upstairs. The staff are excellent, all speak reasonably good English
and have a wonderful happy disposition. The ship has really
nice woodwork and the furnishings are good quality.
There is no tipping aboard the ship. The food went from
average to a few outstanding dishes. They did pastas exceptionally
well. Breakfast and lunch is buffet then they usually have a
seated dinner at n seated dinner at night. There are no choices the meal is just
served. The outside pool area is very nice with adequate room
and chairs for the number of guests. They do have entertainment on
some nights on board.
