Review summary

I cannot wait to cruise on the sunshine again, it was our first cruise and we have such lovely memories of the fun we had onboard. Perfectly sized, the best crew, I highly recommend this ship! Our love of her has lead us to more than a dozen cruises in the last few years and she is still amazing in our memory!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was our first sailing so we tried a balcony cabin. It was azing to sit in the evening and watch the sun set over the ocean. The breeze on your face and the azing fresh sea air. Love our room!

Ship tip

This is a smaller ship but the crew was impeccable. It's nice to be on a small, albeit older ship. There was plenty to see and do and never a long line.
