Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our stateroom attendant, Vergelio was very accomodating and helpful; the waiter team in the dining Posh were excellent, Lead -Pherces, Server-Jaymar and Asst-Maesan, we were impressed they remembered our names and likes, even around the ship they spoke using our names.

The ship was fine and clean, I have been on many cruises most with , just found this ship to be old and outdated
