Review summary

This was our first cruise ever. And we walked away with nothing but good to say. The help on this ship felt like family before we left. They were nothing but friendly. We don't have one negitive thing to say about this ship. The only thing we heard was that we could feel the rocking of the rough waters because it was a small ship. And we did feel it...alot of people on this cruise that were first timers said that they would never go on another cruise do to the rough waters of the first night, but on through the cruise the employees made up for the first night of the waters..and everyone would go again. We loved it. Our daughter even puked!!ha and she would hop back on tommorrow!!! The ship was so clean. The food was great. But the kindness of the staff was outstanding. The rooms were bigger than i thought they would be. and the cleanliness of this ship was shocking to me. The shows were outstanding. We loved them all. There is something on board for everyone. We aren't drinkers or partiers but my husband and I would take another cruise on this ship again. The price was wonderful and up front. We met so many wonderful people on this ship...workers and cruisers. We just had a great time...would recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to experience the wonders of the water. WE loved it!!!
