Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I loved the layout. The ship was kept clean at all times and the cabin was always clean and stocked with cleaned towels for our entire trip.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size was a bit small for 3 adults but it was our own decision to share it due to cost. Regardless of the size, we were comfortable for the amount time spend in the cabin. It was extremely clean. Great housekeeping service from Dindin.

Ship tip

If more than 2 adults, consider getting a suite for a more comfortable accommodation. Cabins can fit up to 4, but the extra 2 should be kids not adults. The pullout bed is not very comfortable for sleeping or for going up/down for adults.
