Service and Staff

Everyone I came into contact with was very pleasant and helipful, but the man who was our housekeeper was exceptional. Our room was always immaculate and he left us the funniest towel sculptures.

trstanaway what cruise u going on. I been on 6 cruises am a beginner but I love cruises Norwegian and royal is my favorite but i love princess to all cruises are nice best thing is look at reviews . I been on carnival once I had fun food was great. I think Norwegian has the best entertainment always remember theirs always someone going to complain matter what. every cruise ship and lines are different
