Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our waiters on the Da Vinci were very attentive, also the housekeeper but one of the bar attendants was very mean with us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
When we embark the ship it was a little bit dirty on the outside, we love the design of the ship and it was clean.

It is an inside cabin so we just slept on there and get ready for formal nights.
