Review summary

Overall a nice ship. The entertainment was lacking went to comedy show. Was not a fan of the comedians that were there at the time. The piano bar was enjoyable except at times I felt like I was at a private party. Teppanyaki and the steakhouse are always a great choice for dinner. Was looking forward to trying Chibang and unfortunately was disappointed all food served was cold and just ok But for them to classify my cabin as a “premium” cabin is awful!!

This was the most disappointing part of the ship. Walking into this “premium “ balcony room. There is no view at all except the steel wall of the ship. The balcony furniture for some reason is only 6-8” off the ground so if you have knee or back issues very difficult to get in and out off. But the worst was the crew lounge area was actually right in front of us below one deck. At first during the day I thought I smelled cigarette smoke but in the evening it was unbearable. So for me the balcony was completely unusable!!! Very disappointed
