Review summary

The entire experience was smooth and magical. Everything was easy to select and I could tell our cruise line has the experience to know how to meet the needs of each client.

Entertainment

Great, we went to the show each night and they were all enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was amazing, but a few stood out above the rest. Our room steward, Gunarsa, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and diligent. All servers were great, and Germaine and her team on elegant night were wonderful. Even though it was a very busy night, they took the time to make us feel valued. And of course our cruise director, Lei Lei was 10 out of 10, would recommend any cruise she is directing.

Disembarkation

The staff did a great job, but the other guests were not listening to instructions. Took longer to leave due to halls having guests standing in the way of the guests leaving.
