Hottub was the best
This cruise is perfect for couples looking to meet new people and make some friends. The hottub on the top deck was a great place to do this! And the excursions just made it even more fun. Thanks to the staff!

Jacuzzi in our room
The genesis is a really great ship. We had a lovely jacuzzi in our room and one on the top deck. Had loads of time to get off the ship and explore caves and private beaches.
