Review summary

Great Destinations. I was shocked to see the rooms and the laid out is curved and small. The Balcony was huge, loved it get it you can 10012. The buffet times were limited so it made the other restaurants busy. Overall the boat is big and plenty to do.

The balcony was huge we loved this. The bathroom set up well we just laugh about it what you going to do. Overall room are small due to the design and curve.

Be ready to experience a different room from all other cruises. No bathroom is all one room. Small rooms
