No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room,4008, wasn't cleaned when we went to our room. Bibi came and went above and beyond to make things right. We were upgraded to a balcony room, 8044, and an interior room, 8573, to compensate us for the room. Inputu was quick and attentive when we were at the Schooner Bar. Erika and Stefan were wonderful at breakfast in the main dining room and Courtney and Mohammed were exceptional during dinner in the main dining room table 409. Joan kept our room in great shape.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Loved the exotic themes throughout the ship. All the staff did an excellent job keeping the ship clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very comfortable interior stateroom. Wasn't far from elevator.
