Review summary

We were so excited to be able to board a cruise ship after 18 months of not being able to! Aside from a few minor inconveniences, we never felt unsafe or at risk. If anything, the cleaning routine NEVER stops! Crew members are constantly wiping down public areas with cleaning solutions and sanitizers.

Ship experiences

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

One of the switches to the bathroom was broken and the sink leaked a bit. The mattresses needed to be replaced and were not very comfortable. The room was clean and our steward, Bambang, was the best! It was a great location if you don’t mind being in the front of the ship

Ship tip

It is a smaller ship and older so the motion is a bit more than some of the newer and larger ships so I would recommend a cabin near the middle of the ship if possible. The Captain and crew are awesome but it is lacking in some of the newer amenities
