Review summary

This cruise was great! I do wish there was a library setting. A great place to hang out and play games is the buffet area after the buffet closes. There are smoking and non smoking sides to the casino, this was a great experience!

Sometimes it was hard to find things open other than Pizza. Times seemed a little weird.

This is a square cabin, we always try to book this type because the layout just makes them seem bigger. Bathroom is small, this isn’t super fluffy cruiser friendly but you can make it work. You can hear some hallway noise from the bathroom.

Ship tip

Take a photo of the map in the elevator lobby sometimes the layout of the ship seems to not really make sense. The shops are scattered it seems.

My own fault but if you choose to travel with a birth certificate and not a passport be prepared to WAIT. I was in line for almost 2 hours to get get through customs. They only had 3 people checking Birth Certificates. It was definitely a struggle.
