With this being our first cruise we were a little skeptical due to reviews that we read but once we finished with the check in, going through security, and boarded the ship we noticed 2 things 1. The ship was beautiful even if it was out dated, and 2. All the negative reviews were either people who had a bad time for their own reason or were just impatient. The whole time we were on the cruise all the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Our porter was really nice, the cabin steward Poespo "Po" was just as sweet as could be, Our waiters at the Imagination dinning were so pleasant and very funny, (request the seating area of Khemchai or Danilo they will make you laugh, and keep the drinks and food coming no matter what you want!! As far as dessert goes get the Warm chocolate melting cake with icecream It's devine). Every time we went to the bar for a drink from our bottomless bubble we were served with a smile and within seconds of sitting at the bar. Our favorite bartenders on the Lido deck were Allen, Rolly, and "Big Daddy". They know how to mix a drink as well as knowing what you want when you go there.
Our cabin was clean minus a little dust above the bed, and very spacious, bigger than we thought it would be. By looking at the photos you would think the shower was small but it was big enough for my husband and I to shower together which is what we like to do to save water. Te water pressure omg was sooo amazing I want that type of pressure at home. Do not sit on the comode and flush it at the same time lol you will feel as if your being sucked into the bowl. The towel creations left on our bed nightly were just cute. First we had a sting ray, then an elephant, then either a pig or dog, then a big heart on our last night which was the same day we renewed our wedding vows.
We did not stray too far from the port as we were warned of the increased crime rate on tourists, plus from what we had seen just by the port there wasnt much to do.
