Review summary

Good and Interesting trip, our first cruise. Would not be my choice to explore particular destinations as you are unloaded at the tourist mecca and really have little time to explore other than what is provided their for you to see. Must be a little more adventoures to see the real show. Good trip if you are looking for a big boat ride where you can be accommodated.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Some were Excellent but unfortunately there were some real lossers. One of the best aspects of our cruise was our room steward JUEVAN. You should be so lucky as to have Juevan take care of you, He definitely went the extra mile. Believe he was from Jamaica."
