Review summary

Overall, the cruise was awesome. Boarding in New Orleans was efficient and fast. Parking at the port was not an issue. $22 a day... the ship was clean and fairly up to date. The staff, AMAZING!! Best we’ve had in a long time. Food was great and the drinks were as expected. We tried the seafood shack this time, and we will definitely do that again!! Worth the extra $! Mongolian Wok remains my favorite place to eat lunch, followed by Guys Burgers. MDR was wonderful and we splurged and did the chefs dinner. That’s always a treat! Our room Stewart Su, made our trip an absolute dream. I told him he only had to clean our room once a day, but I swear he was in there three times a day! Always freshened the bed, always clean towels, always a full ice bucket and always a new towel animal!! He was awesome!!!

Food and Dining

We ate in the main dining room all evenings except the night of the chefs table. Our food and service was amazing!! We had Sue and Miguel for our wait staff in the MDR. Super folks!!! *** The Chefs table was absolutely amazing and is so worth the money to splurge!

I didn’t get a photo, however, the layout is similar to other balcony cabins minus the sofa. The hall getting in between the cabinets and bathroom is narrow, but the room is spacious and the balcony is amazing!!

Ship tip

If you want to do an excursion, book before your cruise to ensure availability. Our friends didn’t book ahead and wanted to do our excursion with us but it was sold out. It was an amazing excursion and so worth the money!!!
