Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Need more trivia games during the day. they had mostly a morning and evening trivia. Also, the people doing it seemed to make it more about themselves than the game. Yak, yak, yak.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good variety. The main theatre has cramped seating.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always friendly.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship is clean. I had to report some elevator problems and more cabin door sometimes did not lock which I also had fixed. As to layout, while the cabin is small the bathroom is extra tiny with my knees against the bulkhead. FYI: I also tried on one of their robes in the cabin, it would not reach around me. small again.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
as mentioned, cabin small and balcony does not catch the sun because of design. Toilet is poorly placed and hard to use.

Ship tip

Stay clear of this classof ship because of the toilets in the cabins.
