Review summary

This was our first cruise and we were not sure we'd enjoy cruising. It ended up being excellent for us. We got to visit 3 countries and left the cruise line take care of getting up there while we relaxed. We will cruise again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was excellent. Especially in the dining room. The selection was incredible and proportions were perfect.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

If you get bored it's your own fault. There was always something to do from entertainment to short classes about nature.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I can't say enough about the service we received. Gede, our stateroom attendant, was so friendly and anticipated our needs. In the dining room Remesto, Dharma and Pratik were absolutely excellent. They remembered our names and preferences and really put care into all they did. By the end of our cruise, looked at them as friends and even ended up dancing in the aisles along with them.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was clean but better ventilation is needed in the casino as the cigarette smoke finds it's way into the rest of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Suited our needs really well. Gede (Stateroom Attendant) was exceptional.
