Our cabin steward (Renaldo) was excellent!! He did a great job for us the entire trip. We thought he was professional and very engaging with us. We enjoyed having him with us!!

There was always a strong smell of sewage in the hall outside and inside our cabin 8450. Our cabin steward was great and always kept our room clean and straighten. The smell was really terrible!!

Ship tip

Room service is great when you want to just eat while sitting on your balcony.

We loved our cruise, but we were on deck 8 and smelled sewage daily too. Thank goodness I brought spray and kept the room sprayed daily. I also felt lots of movement. Still had a blast with both issues but I agree with the original posters issues.

Actually he is correct, we were in 9287 great floor, no issues. When we walked to the back of the ship on 8 and I also want to say 7, the sewage smell was stomach turning. I of course just didn't go to the aft anymore, but if that's your room.... What a disaster that would have been.....

I never cease to be amazed by comments on this app! One person has all kinds of problems while another on same cruise same ship can't wait to come back for another cruise! I guess it is human nature! Cruising is not for everybody and sometimes you find it out after you spent your money. Mid ship is probably most stable. The more you cruise the more you know where to get your cabin
