Service and Staff

4 out of 5

From the room steward Renaldi was a very helpful and honest person. He helped me to reunite with some items left behind on a previous cruise, when customer service gave me the run around a little disappointed with the service received from customer service.The waiters were great in the main dining. In the Windjammer Angel was an awesome waiter always attentive and willing to serve.

The layout is a nice one with the promenade and a lot of the main places at close range. Employees were seen always cleaning and keeping the place well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

A junior suit was suitable for 3 people and nice space to place items.
