Our waiter & room attendant were phenomenal! Waiter was pleasant & informative. On a scale of 1 to 10 he definitely would be a 10...our room steward was so friendly I felt as though we were friends. Very caring & mannerly. He also rates a 10

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was perfect ! Clean & everything was in working condition! Very comfortable. Love the pillows, slept well & enjoyed our balcony. Brought a smile to our face when we saw our room attendant had made animal designs each day out of bath towels. We loved to see that each day when returning to our cabin! Balcony type

Purchase one of the drink packages.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was going great until my husband was told he had to go back down to customer service. There was a 50 dollar balance that the credit card denied. The problem was we were down there 3 times during our cruise to straightened this RC credit card problem. We spoke to the credit card company on the phone & everything was fine. We even paid cash ! Then it happened again, went down again, girl at counter figured it out and everything was fine once again. Then when he got stopped at exiting the ship , really should have called & let us know. Not when you're disembarking. He paid the bill again. I can't understand each time we went down there the problem was fixed, but it wasn't! Otherwise everything was going smoothly on disembarking the ship.
