Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff on board was beyond exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The boat was not as modern as i thought it would be. As is with most ships, the pools are not enough to satisfy the amount of people on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect.

Ship tip

Just understand that many things on the boat are additional fees.

Brooklyn, New York

No excursions done here. Just departed and arrived out of this port. Traffic of course is maddening pulling in and out of the service areas.

Brooklyn Cruise port is a mess any day. Best thing is to walk outside the gate to a regular street and get a taxi, or walk to ferry station beside the ship and get the ferry to Manhattan where you can get a bus/metro to any airport. And as long as you only get the things that are included in the cruise then nothing is ever extra. Thanks for your review.
