Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward was great. He was attentive and easy to reach even though we never needed him because everything was perfect. The first day we had trouble with the hot water in the shower and he assisted us right away. Jeff was our waiter and he and the Assistant waiter Rhoul (not sure of spelling) were amazing. So helpful with meal recommendations and provided great service. We had dinner in the dining room every night because of this.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I loved the atrium or center of the ship. Very pretty and open. Lots of spots to watch the activities on the 4th floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony which was great. It had a small couch which adds to the comfort. Cabin was cleaned frequently and we were very happy.

Ship tip

Explore the ship the first day! That way you can enjoy all that it has to offer.
