Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was amazing!!! He remembered our names and he was always so nice. I forgot his name but we were in floor #2 even # cabins. Our favorite bartenders were at the casino. David, Nana, and Marypaz were so great and they told us jokes and always remembered my husbands favorite drink. I sure hope they know how much we appreciate them! In the crimson dining room, we had Eddie and Louis. They were awesome. Eddie did magic tricks and they both kept our drinks filled and brought our food our quickly. We looked forward to seeing them every night. Tetiana helped us at guest services and she was the sweetest! She sent notes to our room every day and even sent strawberries one day! We always said hello when we saw her and she remembered us. She has a great personality. The whole staff was great and everyone was so friendly

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The bed was not as comfortable as we hoped but it didn't bother us too much. The room was much bigger than I expected and I loved having a bathtub. The cabin was always clean thanks to our awesome steward

We did an excursion but I can't remember the name! It was a house on the beach and we layed out in the sun all day and had unlimited drinks. They served us lunch and even did a cooking presentation. We even got to go snorkeling!! So much fun!! The staff was great too!

So glad your first cruise experience was so positive (as we wish they all were). For your second cruise, the whole world of ports and ships are available to select from. Enjoy!
