Review summary

As a first time cruise, this was more than a great experience; glad it was on the GP. I’d go again in a heartbeat

Embarkation

Read too many stories about when/when not to arrive. Went early, avoided the lines, and spent a half of day more on the ship

The ship design was well designed. Amenities were close but never crowded. It took sometime to learn the layout. Common areas were immaculate

Small but comfortable no issues

Ship tip

Watch videos of the ship to be familiar before you board - exercise since you’ll eat more than usual

No problems other than having to depart. The process was well organized where 2,700 people exited with no issues that I’m aware of
