Review summary

Overall the ship itself was very nice and we enjoyed ourselves. I have learned that a 4 day cruise is not for me. Best to have a 7 day for me. It is more family friendly. 4 day was super crowded.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For as crowded as it was and the lack of respect by some people the ship was very clean. Staff was constantly cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Overall size and comfort was EXCELLENT! Cabin was clean. The headboards were fabric and seemed to hold smells of other people’s head. I had to get a clean sheet and wrap around the headboard. This was my only complaint and the smell the room had. Mostly coming from the headboard though.
