Beautiful!! My fiancée and I had a balcony room (we will always book one) where you can see everything. Everyone was waving at us as we sailed away.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Antonio was our room steward and he was so nice and easy to talk to. He was always accessible and answered any questions that we had. His service was excellent. I'll give him 10 stars. Lilley was the waiter that I remember the most. She made me and my family look forward to coming to dinner every night. Her smile was inviting and we loved dancing with her lol! Thank you Lilley and Antonio for your great service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I think the layout was great and allowed people to walk around without a lot of clutter. You didn't even know there were 3,000+ people on the cruise because you saw familiar faces often, which was nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

My fiancée and I enjoyed our room and it was very comfortable. We will always book the balcony room from here on out. Our steward made sure he kept our room clean.

@GIL155 that's true. Our shipmates were friendly. We definitely made some lifelong connections.

Glad your family had such a good time together on the cruise. Gotta thank YOUR shipmates as well. If they were naughty it might have been so enjoyable.
