Review summary

We loved that there was a day at sea to just relax, then a day at port, then another day at sea to relax, and then another port. The length of this cruise was perfect.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So easy to get on the ship if you've completed all necessary steps before getting to the port

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of the staff were friendly and helpful

Ship Quality

Always saw staff cleaning - can't complain about cleanliness

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bed was surprisingly comfortable and the bathroom was actually a good size.

Ship tip

Pay your gratuity up front so that whenever you get a drink you don't have to tip and sign every time. You can always ask to add additional tip if the bartender went above and beyond.
