Review summary

It was my first cruise and will definitely go again. Wish the pools were bigger and the drink packages a little more affordable. I feel we could have had more drink selections for people without a package. The only thing was coffee which was not very good, lemonade and unsweetened iced tea which was only available at the main buffet. It was hard to access drinks when the main buffet place was closed.

Embarkation

Main dining room was excellent however the buffet could have used some variety of different cuisines and more access to drinks for people Who did not have a beverage package.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our dining staff Carlo, Jaynor and Chris were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure my family and I were happy and satisfied with the service. We dined at table 309 in the main dining hall for the whole Week and enjoyed every moment with the three aforementioned staff members. They truly made our experience at the cruise a memorable one. They all deserve a 100% on customer service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and well Maintained only wish the pools were bigger.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
There were three of us and the pull out couch was just as comfortable as a queen size bed. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin! Lucy our cabin attendant was awesome and kept our room clean and ready every morning and evening.

Ship tip

Look for deals on beverage packages before getting onboard because then drink selection without a drink was not very diverse nor good
