Granted- I'm a first-time cruiser, but I loved this trip. Rooms were nice and I was pleasantly surprised at the size and quality of the bathroom/shower. Food was sensational!
I've never sailed on a "real cruise ship", so maybe my view is slanted- but one of the fun things about this boat is that you are with a small crowd of 150. Over the week we sat with a number of fun folks who we saw repeatedly over the week and could pick up from previous conversations.
Really, really enjoyed the staff on board. Crew was amazing and we felt they would do anything for us. Over the week we ended up getting to know most of them by name.
Having heard all about typical cruise-ship accomodations, I was expecting a whole lot less than we ended up getting. Roomy and high-end. Only gripe is that the TV that we rarely turned on did not have a ton of options channel-wise.
