Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always someone to answer questions and help. Made accommodations when needed. My wine was easily transferred from our usual dining restaurant to a specialty restaurant and back in a blink of an eye.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy to get around, love the walking level around whole ship, deck 7, great to walk outside after breakfast, the bar area at top back, level 19, is perfect for daytime reading, cards, and at night a great place to party, drink and dance. Always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Inside cabin, center of ship on Caribe deck, always clean and ready, never bothered if we stayed in bed late. Courteous staff. My knee was swollen and the steward kept my ice bucket filled!

Ship tip

Relax and let everything else melt away.
