Review summary

Other than smaller size, this was our best of three cruises. Beautiful scenery throughout the cruise. The food and entertainment aboard ship was exceptional. Plenty of opportunities to explore the ports we visited.

All areas well maintianed. No issues finding your way around the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Rooms are smaller than previous cruises but that was expected. Bathroom and storage space require you to organize properly but there is room to do this. Would suggest some wall hooks for the robes.

Ship tip

If you have not been on smaller ship before, then study the room layout before you go and do not overpack.
