Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship layout overall was good, well maintained and well appointed. A slight inconvenience having to go up a level and then down and level to get to certain areas but, not that big of a deal.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin size was perfect for our needs and loved the balcony, ocean view.

Ship tip

We did the whale-watching tour which did not leave any time to explore the actual town. That's my only reason for the 3-star rating. Our traveling companions toured the town and loved it.
