We got the executive suite. The room is bigger and the balcony but that’s about it. Furniture is old albeit the cruise debuted in 2022. The shower didn’t drain properly. They also turned off my AC the morning after thinking that I only stayed for 1 night so we came back after a day of excursion to a very hot room. we booked the 3 days 2 nights itinerary. The first night dinner was not good. Also half of the food was vegetarian. The second night dinner was much better with more meat option. Both dinners were buffet. First and second lunch was set menu, which was ok. Last lunch was buffet so there were more options to choose from. Breakfast was below average. Happy hour cocktails were decent, although prices are steep, which is to be expected. The things I like the most are the aCtivities and the scenery.

Exceptional experience. I am really impressed by the professionalism of the staff. The transfer bus was so comfortable. The room was clean, spacious, the food options were the best, as a vegetarian I always feel « left out » but at this cruise I had so many options to chose from. It was such a peaceful cruise.

We absolutely loved our time on Doris. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Brian was a character, making mango daiquiri on request. Michael was incredibly helpful and was able to tell us a lot about the wildlife in the area. The food was amazing (sometimes a bit more than needed) and all of the days trips were great. Glad we did the 2 night cruise.
