Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our family was left completely delighted with the service that Putu and Xueting, our room stewards, gave us. They were extremely kind and thoughtful, and made a clear effort to not only know us by names, but to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying ourselves. They truly made our cruise memorable. Agus and Yu pur (from the Lincoln dining room) were without a doubt the best waiters we've ever had, and the service they provided us was excellent! We never imagined that my mom's dietary needs would be fulfilled so fully and with so much kindness. They truly perform their jobs with infectious joy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All public restrooms were clean, and the cabin's service was excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom
