Service and Staff

3 out of 5

It’s obvious the staff is overworked. Some were rude. Most were nice. Lost three single socks when I had laundry done by staff

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Arrived with an open mind about the odd layout. Not a fan. Everything that happens in toilet stall can be heard by everyone in room.

Cabin / Stateroom

Balcony was nice and big. Easlity fit three chairs.

Ship tip

Make reservations early. We had to take cold showers for two days, the ship had no hot water. Also, they completely turned off the water two nights.
