Every staff member we encountered was friendly, extremely well trained, accommodating, and considerate.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The entire ship was always extremely clean and there were many sanitizer dispensers located throughout the ship. There was not a thing we would have changed on the Marina - layout and design were perfect and comfortable.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were amazed at the size of our Penthouse Suite. Absolutely everything we needed and/or wanted was available to us. Our butler, Francis, was wonderful! He went out of his way many times to quickly fulfill our requests. And, our housekeeper, Janille, was such a "ray of sunshine". She was always smiling, friendly and efficient. She kept our stateroom neat and spotless.
