Review summary

This was the first cruise for both my husband and myself. He was never interested in going on a cruise but this trip surely changed his mind. We are looking forward to booking our next cruise soon. You want for nothing on the ship. Every need is met and every dream is realized. It was our best vacation yet!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We couldn’t ask for a better room steward than Joecy!!! He anticipated our every need and went over and above . He made sure we were very comfortable from morning till night time and was very friendly . Carla was the hostess in the main dining room and she gave us wonderful feeding every evening. We had a table by the window and she made us feel very special. Vincente was a server in the main dining room who was very accommodating to us . Maurice was our waiter in the sky lounge and had our drinks ready for us as we walked into the lounge for the cocktail hour !!

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was a very nice size with a huge bed and couch and desk and the balcony was wonderful for our cruise to Alaska. We got a lot of use out of it. The bathroom was very nice size .

Ship tip

Go out to the Sunset bar on deck 14 in the evening to watch the sunset and make good use of the sky lounge to enjoy a cocktail while you are cruising. There are chairs all around the windows so you can see where you’re going and it is just beautiful. The one thing I

This was our favorite port. Since we did not book any excursions before we got there we hired a pedicab driver when we got off the ship. There are several of them parked right there as you get off the ship and it was the best excursion we did on the whole cruise. He drove us around the town for three hours for $150 and it was magical. Our driver was Mark and he showed us the whole city. It was unlike any tour anyone else took.
