I wish this place was larger.

Spice H2O

1 out of 5

This place always smells of exhaust so I can’t stay for too long.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

My room steward was amazing. She kept room neat with towel animals everyday. Once daily service was no big deal. I always had enough towels. Had some great bartenders on pool deck, piano bar, and nightclub.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I found ship to be clean. It’s getting older but not too noticeable.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It’s a small interior cabin. It can hold 3 people. I can’t imagine that. There’s barely room for me and my stuff. No couch.

Ship tip

Book dinners and shows right away.
