Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The public areas were generally clean and supplied The only area I had a problem with was Customer service...it was midship across from an entertainment venue ..all open area & hard surfaces...was impossible to hear the customer service people and vice versa...often people had to move to the far ends of the counter and yell

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Couldn't have been happier...quiet, clean ..and comfortable-Always well attended to.
