Service and Staff

For the most part the staff were friendly and helpful. Did have some experiences where I felt they came off rude.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

I remember the days where they would clean your room and then do a proper turn down service in the evening. Was hard to even get fresh towels.

Ship tip

Be ready to be nickel and dimed in every port to get to town using their shuttles. One stop the shuttle was $20 each.
