Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I would give this 9.5 at times hard for staff to keep up getting tables cleaned off this was more I noticed places other than Windjammer.. Example hot dog stand always dirty tables a couple times the One employee was not there gettting supplies but we waited patiently hot dogs were Good! They really needed 2 staff memebers

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean, tickets for excursions were always in room and all info about activities on board were up to date... quite I heard rumors about thin walls but only a few occasions we could hear child crying I have no complaints... liked the fact if I didn’t need housekeeping for the day I could just put do not disturb sign on door.

Ship tip

We left out of New York so I assumed we would need coats we were not outside enough to bother dragging a coat along. Wearing a hoodie would have been fine.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We self disembarked that was fine once the line started moving we never stopped. Only thing made us upset in line to leave my husband gets called to guest services on the busiest AM... so I waited in line... once he got to guest services they took him to deck 2 with about 8 other people said they were all randomly selected... then officers came and they were checking there paperwork out... made my husband very upset and me nervous we had no clue what was going on and why. After they checked his paperwork he rejoined me in line but his ended out wonderful cruise with awful ending
