Let me start out saying it was a nice cruise and it was fun. Booked it for my daughters 21st birthday. What made the cruise good, was the people working on the ship. Our stateroom was nice, bright and very comfortable. Our steward was extremely nice and helpful.

Our dining staff was the greatest. Alma was the name of the young woman that served us and she was the best. If you need anything or was not satisfied she would do her best to assist you.

If not for the personnel I think this cruise would have been the worse experience ever. With the following exception.

Cabin Review

Cabin suite

Had what looked like some mold on the grouting of the tiles in the bathroom. The jets in the tub looked broken and like they had a build up on them. The side of the tub keep on popping out from the top of the tub. Looked like the tub need to be upgraded. Every thing else was extremely clean and looked elegant.

The ship was supposed to call over the 1MC for all excursions. They didn't everyone got off the ship and you had to find the excursion group you were supposed to be on. We were supposed to do the luxury sail. That was cancelled, ship offered 2 others for half price, but did not let anyone know that the times for the excursion also change. So after waiting 30 to 40 minutes we asked for our refund. I think the other people finally left after about 45 minutes to an hour later.
