Review summary

Overall, this first cruise leaves me wanting to cruise again! I would definitely try to cruise with Lee again, as he brought so much life to the experience! His energy is truly unmatched.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was pretty disorganized and felt chaotic. Nonetheless, it went by pretty quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

All of the food we had on the ship was good! There are so many different places to try so we never got sick of any of the options.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lee and the Fun Squad brought so much life to these activities!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I really enjoyed the final night's shows that paid tribute to the cultures of the crew members. DJ Cue was also always a pleasure to watch! So much energy!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I was so impressed by the service on this cruise. I don't think the staff on this boat has been matched on any other vacation I've taken. They all are such hard workers and they're so personable too. Our room steward Komang knew our names from the very first day and was always a delight. In addition, many of the crew members had great senses of humor and were fun to be around!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the ship. There was no garbage anywhere and dirty dishes were picked up swiftly by staff. In addition, I was shocked at how clean the pool areas were kept!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

While a little small it did it's job. Komang did an excellent job at keeping it tidy for us.

Bring ducks to hide!
