Review summary

For a 4 day cruise, we were blown away. Deon was a good cruise director, and the food was very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The parties were fun. However, the music seemed to be repetitive. Especially for a short cruise.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The liver performances were just ok. The comedians were incredible.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff was incredible. From our room steward to the dining staff. No complaints at all.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was very clean. There were always people cleaning. We also noticed they were shampooing the carpets late at night.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a cloud 9 spa balcony. It was in a nice location, and very clean. It was plenty of space for the two of us.

Ship tip

Try as many food options as you can. Cucina Del Capitano is also a free option for lunch. Bonsai sushi is worth the upcharge, and do the scheduled dining if you want great service. Everytime we have done your time, it seems to take a lot longer and the food isn't as good.
