Review summary

I never thought I'd be a person who liked cruising, but I was so very wrong! I loved meeting new friends and the friendliness of the terrific staff. The food at the Lido Market was simple but delicious. There were things to keep us entertained while at sea.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I thought the ship was laid out well and had a nice design. I thought everything was kept clean. The staff worked really hard to keep it that way.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Our cabin was larger than we expected and had plenty of storage space for our clothing as well as our empty luggage. I would have no issue staying in the same/similar cabin, but the ship is almost 20 years old and the lighting in the desk/vanity area is on the dim side for someone with poor eyesight trying to do her hair.

Ship tip

If the weather is nice and you don't have every moment filled while in a port of call, go sit by the pool while the majority of people are off the ship.
