Review summary

It was a wonderful cruise despite the tropical storm conditions throughout the entire cruise due to the great sailing by the Captain. Our waiter, Michael, was outstanding in taking care of us during meals and a Birthday celebration. Our Room Steward, Kwong, prepared our cabin beautifully and left amazing towel characters. The bartenders were amazing in quickly providing wonderful drinks to us despite the large amount of customers. The entire crew/staff was very welcoming and obliging in satisfying our needs. Austin Morris, the Cruise Director, was very energetic, well-organized, and provided great entertainment.

Thank you for your positivity. Thank you for marking "did not visit port" when it was weather related instead of complaining you couldn't visit because of the weather and then give it 1 star... I digress. I'm complaining about people complaining. Anyhoo, great review!
