Enjoyed every minute. At sea first helped a lot with getting acquainted with the ship before trying to get off and on.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Was an interior. Enough room for two brothers over 6’2” and 200+lbs. only downfall was no window. Woke up one morning at 3am in a hurry for my wine tasting seminar at 2:30pm.... thought I missed it until I got on deck and no one was around. Super peaceful and serene.

Ship tip

Get back to ship early from the islands, so much fun watching the runners try to make the ship lol. Also if you can’t sleep one night definitely go up on deck and look out over the water. Super beautiful and serene.

That is funny about waking up at night and thinking it was afternoon since you didn't have a window. Just wait till you go to Alaska, even with a window, the midnight sun can throw you off. 🙂

Thanks for the review and I’m glad you enjoyed your cruise. I also like to sit on the deck with a beverage in hand and watch the runners!
