Service and Staff

Our room steward Dwi did a great job and made us feel welcome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is very clean and easy to get around i had no problems. The elevators could get a little crowded so it didnt take long. If you going to serenity deck look for the elevators that say 3-18 so you wont have to walk up a deck its much easier that way, it will have 3 buttons on it instead of two.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was very clean and comfortable. Spacious enough for 2 people i suggest you unpack and then just add dirty clothes to large bag in your suitcases this worked for us.

Ship tip

Just take the time to explore the whole ship. We would definitely go on this ship again.
