We had a great time on this ship! It was very clean, we saw many people wiping down the hand rails. Our steward who took care of our room was Catherine and she was so nice. The shows and activities were awesome. Only negative is the bars closed early.

Was the most wonderful cruise , beautiful ship my dining room service was amazing , very friendly people , the people at the Next Cruise desk were a little rude , but understandable because was lots of people. Guess there weren’t having a good day

Wonderful cruise 🚢
