This cruise was absolutely amazing! We were in a suite for the first time and were treated royally by the entire crew. Our captain was visible throughout the cruise, gave a great presentation at the theater on the operation of the ship (he even had a Q & A session afterward that ran overtime because he wanted to answer all our questions), and we actually looked forward to his morning announcements on sea days. He was friendly, informative, and funny - exactly what a cruise captain should be.

Our concierge in Michael’s Club, Kimberley, was awesome! She greeted us with a big smile and bear hug every time we walked in and took care of our wants and needs throughout the entire voyage. She even checked us in for our return flight home and printed our boarding passes for us. Having breakfast there each morning and cocktails and appetizers every evening (all complimentary) was wonderful. It was a quiet haven for us away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the ship. We also met some great fellow cruisers there whom we hope to see in the future.

We couldn’t have asked for a better butler than an outstanding young lady named Su. She answered each phone call, no matter what time of day or night we called, and also took care of anything we needed. She made room service a fun time and came by with treats each afternoon. She even made some special iced tea for us every evening and provided ice cubes twice a day for our cold drinks.

Cabin Review

Our suite was spacious and for the most part, well furnished. The separate bedroom made sleeping in the total darkness possible, which helped us rest very well. The dining room table and 4 chairs were a comfortable place to enjoy our room service meals. We each had a spacious closet and several drawers in the bedroom and vanity area, and there were two sinks in the bathroom. The jetted tub was difficult to climb into and even harder to get out of with wet feet since it was so elevated. There was not a separate shower. In the living room, the sofa and one chair with ottoman were very old. The sofa was so low to the ground that we had a hard time getting up. The veranda was just big enough and the ceiling to floor glass windows and door provided a terrific view even from within the cabin.The standard of cleanliness wasn’t up to par with what we’re used to at home. The closet floors were dusty and my long black dress was soiled because of that. The insides of the drawers had little pieces of dirt and dust and hadn’t been wiped out. I don’t believe any dusting or vacuuming was done during our 15 days onboard, so the dust had started to accumulate. Since this was the only negative, rather than letting it spoil an otherwise fantastic trip, I just ignored it and didn’t let it bother me. Everything else more than made up for putting up with a bit of dust.
