Review summary

This was my first cruise, so I wasnt sure what to expect. More walking than I thought and I have some back issues. The ship was nice & clean. The service was exceptional. The only thing I didnt care for was the extra packages I had to buy. I don't drink alcohol so bought the non alcoholoc beverge package but $132 was a little pricy and the internet at $75 for 4 days was ridiculous

Embarkation

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service was excellent. Our room steward Aria gave us great service he got everything we asked for and answered any & all questions we had. If he didnt know he found out and came back to us with the answer. The towel animals he left us after cleaning our room were awesome

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean, layout was good

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The room was great but the sofa bed was fairly uncomfortable. I wouldnt select that again

Ship tip

Be aware of the extra packages one has to buy that adds to the cost of the cruise

You don't "have to buy" anything extra. Soda and WiFi are items we don't buy. We drink the included beverages and connect to WIFI on land. We are glad we don't have to pay for things we don't use.
