Review summary

It was a beautiful ship and wasn't over crowded. This cruise is great for first time cruisers and I love this ship. It's very different from other cruise lines but I prefer this one because it was more calm and organized. Diversity was very evident and it was great to see a different culture of cruising.

This is a great cruise for first time cruisers because you come with no expectations. You will love it if you have nothing to compare it to and just enjoy everything.

I'm glad your 1st cruise experience was a wonderful one. It's not perfect, but that's the way it goes most of the time, in my opinion. Thank you for your review.
