Review summary

The staff needs to be better trained in all areas. I did like not being pressured to have photos taken. I did not like having to make reservations each day for dinner in the general dining rooms. Overall we enjoyed the cruise.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

waiters could not get orders correct. room steward had to be called to make up room. Oliver in the Café Aloha bar was excellent and Pam the squirky/washy lady are a real asset to this ship as they were very helpful, friendly and informative. They made our day!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The public areas were clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room was much smaller than on other ships we have been on. The steward did a good job of cleaning it. Overall, it was comfortable.

Ship tip

Do an excursion every day - best part of the trip.

Every cruise pushes photos and reservations for extra revenue. We do some of each with photos and restsurants but learned to say a firm polite no thanks when needed.
