We were very happy with our cabin selection

Ship tip

Get on the ship early so you can eat and get some things done before the crowds hit. Also, there are plenty of quiet spots you can find you want some "down time".

Just OK, the people were fairly aggressive salespeople, and the snorkeling excursion was disappointing. Several boats surrounding this one little snorkeling area. Would not do it again
