Everyone who worked onboard was very friendly . The Room attendant was great. dining room service also good , breakfast service had a few kinks to work out . A bit slow .

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful decor ! I felt it had a bit of Celebrity cruises decor. Very elegant in some areas. common areas were very clean. Loved the art work onboard.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

cabin was nice. Comfortable bed. It had the infinity balcony . The bathroom was a tad small but still great.

Enjoy!

It was a three-day cruise because it was comped. Comped passengers include travel agents, travel writers, social media types, etc., so of course they’re going to like it. Wait for reviews from paying passengers to get the truth.

Glad you enjoyed it! We go on her in May. How was the food in the dining room? Does the new elevator system cut down on wait times? Thank you 😊

There's no way you could see everything on a ship that large in 3 days. You really should have waited to go for a longer time. Glad you enjoyed the time you did have.
