Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Common areas were clean, however the centrum was a bit small as many of the dancing musics were could use more space! They should have had the main dancing music in the Colony Club where there is more space!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was quite ok for the two of us, as it was well appointed with enough space for us to get around! We don't normally spend much time in the cabin, so it was just fine! Clean with comfortable beds and a wonderful steward!

Know that there is not much Caribbean music on it!
