Review summary

Ship's crew were all wonderful and very helpful.  The food was great, though if you ate at the buffet the choices repeated a lot except for the deserts which were varied and all delicious. 

 

The shore excursions were terrific and they had them very well organized. 

 

The internet service was TERRIBLE, not worth the money (which they did return part of the cost).  It was purchased by minutes and it was so slow that it could take you 20 minutes to do 1 thing, if you didn't lose your connection & have to start over.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Lots of storage space available so be able to unpack and organize your belongings. Only downside was that our balcony was aft just below the Lido pool and when it was windy we had a lot of trash blow down onto it. Our cabin stewards were Awesome, they were always willing to help us & called us by name with a big smile whenever they saw us.

Ship tip

Do NOT purchase the internet package! Be sure to read the daily activities sheets so you don't miss things.
