I can’t say enough about the staff. Always have a smile on their face and always willing to help you. Don’t look down on them. They are your vacation

Another satisfied cruiser, love it, makes a change from the complainers, often what kind of life they lead at home, I've cruises for many years now and yes some of the food on offer was not to my taste but there was always plenty of other options, and sometimes the entertainment was not for me but I could see others were enjoying it so if it's not for you go somewhere else. As far as ship facilities go, pools, hot tubs, climbing walls, ice skating, laser tag crazy golf shuffle board, sports court, table tennis, Arcade. And finally then the rant is over, I have never ever encountered a rude member of staff, not on RCI, P&O, or Celebrity....look in the mirror is my advice to those that make such accusations. Done

Great ship! I always heard everyone say how great this ship was. Honestly when I got on the ship I didn't think much of it. I really didn't see what all the hype was about it. We had a GREAT TIME ON THIS SHIP! IT WAS A B2B!
