Ship is in great shape and easy to get around

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was very comfortable and spacious with a lot of storage space. It was also very clean.

Ship tip

Make sure you see Choir of Man, and if you are in the Haven make sure you go to the bar and get a special cocktail made to order. Those bartenders are amazing
