Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great service staff, cruise director was too full of herself.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Older ship renovated well.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Horrible location directly above main entertainment venue. Cabin is small by new cruise ship standards; smallest bath we have ever experienced.

Ship tip

Check cabin location relative to entertainment venue. Because it in one story space it is both below (us) and above many cabins.
