Had a great time. Enjoyed eating in the dining room each night. The wait staff was excellent. Food was great there. Food on the list was good all except the cakes didnt have much flavor. The frosting tasted more like butter or grease than any real flavor.

Tatang was our room steward. He did a great job. Our wait staff in the dining room; tomaas, kadek, and I cant remember the other guys name; were all superb every evening.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Workers were still painting rails and such from the dry dock as we were cruising. But they always stayed out of the way and were courteous.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was plenty big enough. Air worked great in our room. Beds were comfy. Our room steward Tatang kept it nice and clean

Ship tip

Get ready to do some walking. Lol I averaged 3 to 7 miles everyday. Eat in the dining room. It awesome being pampered.

Glad you had a great time. I don’t know if there is any difference but we use patches that we order on Amazon. Never effected us in any way and we don’t get seasick. Maybe they aren’t as strong but the same thing doesn’t work for everyone.
