Review summary

We had a great time. The staff was alway very friendly and very helpful. It is obvious that they work very hard. The cabins need MAJOR updates but are clean. We might go on another cruise if we can find a newer ship with better mattresses/cabins.

The room was very clean! And the balcony was great. That being said... that was the WORST mattress my back is still killing me. It puts a big damper on your vacation when you’re uncomfortable and dreading your bed all day long. It was also very out dated looking the salmon accents while less physically painful than the mattress definitely were not relaxing.

Ship tip

Bring a mattress pad

Slept like a baby in my comfy Valor bed. The couch is great for napping on.

Agreed - the beds are bad :( the seam down the middle is very uncomfortable. I’m thinking to bring some type of mat or topper and see if our room steward can try to cover it up...

The beds are pretty firm. Great for my back. You can always request a bed topper for more cushion. I actually like the beds.
