Review summary

Plenty of entertainment on the cruise and most of the excursions were worth their value. The wait staff was incredible, providing an abundance of food above and beyond what we ordered. Overall, the ship was very clean and the ride was relatively smooth (minus some chopping waters during inclement weather).

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Well above and beyond my expectations. Incredibly friendly staff, particularly Jigger and George from The Great Gatsby.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and kept very well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean and surprisingly spacious. Plenty of storage for all your clothes and belongings. Shower was kinda small, but I will take this over sharing a shower with unknown guests.

Ship tip

The Windjammer was usually packed with people, so I recommend The Great Gatsby if you have the time (dinner was usually 90-120 minutes total). Definitely pay the extra money to have a window with your stateroom. You'll get plenty of exercise if you take the stairs over the elevators.
