Review summary

The ship is old and dated. Food and soft drinks no better than cheaper cruise lines. The theater shows were a big disappointment. Smaller lounges with singing, sports bar, comics but little seating. The coffee was really bad but could purchase better coffee. No view under balcony hand rail on deck 6, also no air flow due to design. Bathroom counter small, faucet dripped continuously. Ran out of hot water on 2nd formal night. My time dining had no wait staff entertainment on formal night. Only deck game is shuffleboard. Only two soft serve ice cream machines open 12- 4 pm, they were broke most of the time and when working, the ice cream was runny. We were not WOWED with this ship. Passengers were quieter and acted more mature than cheaper cruise lines.

Taxi front men at port lie. Use scare tactics to route you to a beach where they are teamed up with the chair, umbrella, bar & food, water sports vendors. Locals somewhat pushy over and over again asking you to buy their goods.

The bottom line is that you have to spend several thousand more for a cruise that has absolutely nothing to complain about. It's all about the money. Stay positive, and overlook the silly little bad things on vacation.

They are going to refurbish this ship next year. what do you expect for it being 14 years old.
