Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Took a while to get used to the directions and locations of where we wanted to go. Loved the forward dining area for the buffet, it was huge.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Clean, bed comfortable, great shower design. Only problem, it was a bit narrow where you needed to walk through and could not pass each other without one person getting out of the way.
