Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Like the size but they need to make nice small ships not these big new ships

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Plenty of room to put stuff away. We had 4 suitcases. But the bed was so hard and springs coming out and no alarm clock, no idea of the time. Also no intercom in rooms and it was also warm on the lowest AC setting.

Ship tip

Do your homework because communication is lacking
