Review summary

For a first time cruise - this was a learning experience for me. I mostly enjoyed it. I am sure I missed out on many things on board so I will try to plan better if I cruise again.

Room stewart was a bit overly enthusiastic. We literally had to beg him to not come in and clean our room on at-sea days when we were in there watching a movie

The view was nice and the cabin size was what I anticipated but the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on, it was so hard I woke up every morning with a sore back/neck/shoulders which detracted from my overall enjoyment of the cruise due to lack of sleep. We visited the hot tubs every day in an effort to relieve the soreness. I was so sleep deprived by the last day I fell asleep on the tour bus going to and coming back from an excursion.
