Review summary

Good weather for our cruise. They misplaced 2 of our luggage but we got them back quickly. One of our bags was lost for the trip and somehow it was in the disembarkment area with all the other bags but in a different section. The ports were a lot of fun. Make sure to book your excursions ahead of time so you get off the ship and go to your excursion.

Embarkation

Quick and kept the line moving. I would have like a bit more explanation on where we needed to go once we hit each checkpoint.

We only saw one show and it was excellent.

Service and Staff

Good service from the room stewards, waiters, and waitresses.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The elevators were very slow. We had my father-in-law with us who uses a walker or wheelchair and we could not take the stairs. We just needed to allow more time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin is small but you get used to it. The showers are very small like being in a RV.
