Service and Staff

Jose our cabin steward was amazing. First contact with waiter in dining was not a good experience. Waiter proceeded to talk about sex, bananas etcetera which was Extremely uncomfortable with our wives present.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Seemed old and much smaller than past ships we have cruised on

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Seemed cramped and had multiple bubbles in floors that caused loud pops when stepping on them. Light switches on lower headboard behind pillows caused lights to turn on in the middle of the night when rolling over in bed.

Small ship? It's one class below the grand class...113,000 ton ship...2600 passenger capacity with a crew of about 1100 crew. Dry docked April 2016 with a $8.5 million uplift. Don't forget the ships are in constant 24/7 365 use except for an occasional 1 week dry dock.

Superb and friendly staff! Our housekeeper Danny attended to many different needs and was great at anticipating needs! Thank you . security staff , front desk personal , the the amazing serving staff at the buffet , thank you for your time with my mom !
Most disgusting room I’ve ever stayed in. $10,000 suite was gross dirty and mildew beyond imagination.
Great experience
