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.

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.
