What a great bar. The only bar on the ship that could make a manhattan. Triana is my favorite bar tender ever. Check out the awesome "creepy" drinks. lol

Ship Quality

I thought the ship was in great condition and it is huge. So many venues, so much to do.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was a little different being a square cabin. At first look I was skeptical, but we loved it other than the bathroom being a little small...the shower was awesome

Ship tip

Book the bolt early and often.
