We had a wonderful time on our cruise. However, when the boat shook in the middle of the night, “code bravo” was said over the intercom and there was very poor communication. We were only told that there were “mechanical issues.” This caused wild gossip throughout passengers on the ship, which could have ceases with proper communication. The truth probably wasn’t as bad as the stories people were making up. Our Game of Thrones Tour and stop In Dubrovnik were cancelled as a result of the ship’s problems.

On the positive side, our cabin steward was very nice. We enjoyed the food more in Ginza and the Irish bar on board and would choose these over the main dining room. The ship was clean and our bathroom was bigger than other cruise ships I have been on. We bought the pass to the thermal spa and would definitely do that again. Jessica in the spa was especially wonderful and helpful.
