Review summary

It was a great cruise. We enjoyed our time and all the ports. Use more sun screen is all we can say. Have an awesome time and always tip your wait staff for good service.

Embarkation

Fast isn't the word. We just walked up and they found our stuff and on the boat we went. Pre registration is key.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Buffet was just that, but quick and easy. My time was great and food was awesome. Others were served faster and got to have extras but our servers acted like they had too many tables. They had us sanitize hands often but they handled clean and dirty dishes and never did more than wiped hands on a dry napkin. Saw this from ALL staff.

Cabin / Stateroom

It had a huge window. Use to be a common area when ship was built. Right by the dining room but still quiet.
