SUmi & Kevin in Coastal KItchen are amazing. Steward, Ronald, is the best! Find Latoya in La Patisserie and she will take great care of you. Really, all the crew takes care of you and the ship with a smile.

Clean, very roomy. 2 closets but one had no drawers. Large bath room with tub & walkin shower. 2 sinks but no shelves or drawers for storage. Hard sofa, comfy bed. Double balcony

Ship tip

Allow time for full elevators or catch the first one you can even if it's going in the wrong direction!
