Ship Quality

Love this Vista class of ship! Only wish there was a forward viewing lounge since we had a lot of rain. That's all that is missing.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great balcony cabin with a couch. Loved it.

Have fun. Deck 5 Lanai is quiet place to lounge with padded lounges, umbrellas, comfy chairs.

Did the best they could under the circumstances. We were delayed by weather. They allowed us to stay in our cabins, extended breakfast and allowed us to have lunch.
