Review summary

Enjoyable first cruise experience! Would highly recommend to family and friends. You get out of your cruise experience what you put into it. If you want to do nothing but relax, then that's what you get. If you want to try everything that is offered, then that only adds to your experience. If there is something that you didn't get to do, then all you need to do is book another cruise with the intent to do those things. If things like the drinks packages, excursions, and non-complimentary restaurants were more affordably priced, I would have enjoyed my time aboard even more!

Cabin / Stateroom

Excellent cabin that was just big enough and comfortable enough for two guests. It was cleaned daily. We enjoyed seeing the towel animals that greeted us when we returned to our state room!
