Staff always great but can tell they are short handed.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Most all places accessible by wheelchair the wife likes to sit outside and eat, really no place to do this on this ship like other ships except in the lido deck by pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved this room. It was basically a room and a half. Plenty of room. 2 closets in hallway and 2 on right side of counter. On right side of counter closet is a open area to store luggage or what ever. I don't like the emergency switch so low on the headboard, you can hit it while sleeping or just laying in bed. Which I did, guest services called to see if we're ok. Power plug is far right on counter right behind phone. Phone cord is probably 5 inches long so can't move phone. Refrigerator is not in a cabinet it just sits underneath counter. That helps with it's air flow so drinks were relatively cold. Being in back of boat you do hear more mechanical noises but it's mostly going in and out of port. My sister stayed in a suite and our room was much larger.
