Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Lee was his usual fun self and he knew us from past cruises. Our wait staff was the best we have ever had, there names were ciprian, merfin and kunal, ciprian was over the top, the best we have had. My wife has health issues so she does not eat gmo lactose she a vegan and vegetarian. Ciprian catered to her and was very patient with her. He took her dinner orders the night before and found her healthy food the could eat. I can not begin to tell you how happy we were the the staff but especially ciprian. We even sat at our dinner table for breakfast because ciprian knew what she could have.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was very nice, we were glad we up graded on our long cruise. Our room steward komang cleaned our room twice a day which was very nice . The room was spotless every time we entered it

Ship tip

Get a cabin center of the boat so your not from end to end. It’s a large boat

Been on 2 Journeys cruises with "short" 7-8 day cruises in between. The adjustment back down to a shorter cruise is a bit difficult, but easily adjusted to if still working. For us being able to have 2+ consecutive weeks off is the exception, normally vacations are capped at a max of 10 days for us.
