Service was fantastic! Waiters were outstanding and very friendly!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Theme ship. Workmanship details poor. Poor finishing of molding, grout on wood. Long term this ships decor will not last.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Noisy air conditioning and ship engine. Parked against other ships many nights where we could not open drapes. Only one chair to sit in and room very small. Stains on fabric wallpaper and fabric bench. Bathroom clean.

Ship tip

Enjoy the sun deck! Awesome!
