Review summary

The shows we enjoyed very much, more than other cruise lines. The elevators are warm and people squeeze in to the point of being uncomfortable. The spa was great but I saw people sneaking in from the gym without paying.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Little storage but the cabin was a comfortable size. Housekeeping is confusing, if you leave a room card in the power slot, they don't come into your room unless you press the make up room button.

Ship tip

Buy the wrist band it makes the on ship experience good.

Are you sure they were sneaking in. They could of booked Aurea and Yacht Club. Both get the thermal spa for included in their packages. I sailed Aurea. You didn't need to check in or anything after the first day
