Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great wait staff. Our favorite waiter was in the Ocean Bar his name was Marlon. Always prompt and friendly, knew our names after the first day. His service kept us coming back.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Loved the fresh flowers everywhere. Cloth towels in restrooms and hand lotion.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was clean and comfortable but position below Lido Deck a real mistake. I will never book on Deck 8 again.

Ship tip

Do not book a room below the Lido Deck.
