Service and Staff

We had poor service with waiters and restaurants hostess. Our room steward was excellent and a few of the bartenders in the bar above the atrium wre outstanding.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Confusing for my roommate to get around, but it is a beautiful ship

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

It was a shock when I opened the door. Small compared to the same cabins on other ships which I have paid less for. The closets were a pain to get to especially when the beds were apart. TV was small and difficult to watch and hear announcements from. The bathrooms are half the size of what I have had on other cruise lines.

Ship tip

From several passengers and myself. There are lots of hidden charges and some employees don't have a clue what they are doing. We went to Guest services several times a day because of misinformation.
