Review summary

As a first time, claustrophobic cruiser I was skeptical. I was amazed by the layout of the ship. I never felt cramped, even in our small cabin with 5 people. Our family felt so free and stress free. The dining options suited our family great as we all have different culinary likes. The nightly dinner was so much fun, and I’m still in awe of the magician who would frequent our table. We have already started planning a longer cruise late this year.

Fantastic.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Really enjoyed the ropes course and mini golf. It was too cold for the pool but the hot tbs were nice. The movie is epic.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I can’t remember his name but I was captivated by the guitar guy. Also the couple with the keyboarding husband and the wife with the VOICE. Simply amazing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The dinner staff was exceptional. Henry and Sigit were so attentive. Henry’s joke of the day was delightful. Sigit recognized us on multiple occasions on the ship and always acknowledged us with a smile. Jeri was a great room attendant who seamlessly made everything nice. The magician Ayush who frequented our table was delightful and I’m still mystified.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The staff was always busy keeping everything tidy. I was amazed how everything was so subtly maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I’m claustrophobic and had never been on a cruise. The cabin was cleverly put together so while small (as expected) it was very well appointed and accommodated 5 people without issues. It’s a marvel.
