Review summary

Best- at sea day.( Islands all seemed the same after a while. ) Room attendant was great. Great breakfasts.

Worst- bathroom odors. Poor balcony ( glass was frosted). Noisy ship.. seemed crowded. Buffet was always crowded and noisy. Getting through customs seemed unnecessarily slow. Perhaps it was because the porters wanted cruisers to use them to circumvent long lines( for a healthy "tip" of course).

Bathroom had a terrible odor like the men's room in a bus station. Balcony glass was frosted so that it was difficult to see through. Very low water flow out of bathroom sink. Small leak from shower. Ships needed major rehab. I thought it was scheduled when I bought my tix, but they couldn't do very much during their planned shutdown in November. Staff was great.
