Review summary

I guess you can say you have no control over the weather and we understand those situations,  but we didn't think the food was as good as other cruise lines, the ship was older ,needs some updating, repairs and cleaning . One of 5 elevators was always out of order and not easily accessible for the older passengers or handicapped , the  public restrooms always seem to be under maintence or out of order . Some parts of ship smelled of sewage, left over items from previous cruisers  were left  in stateroom refrigators and on dresser shelves. Nightly shows were not good, poor quality. Unable to go into port one day due to  bad weather, expected to have extra activities on board to make up for the down time . Staterooms  small and balcony very  small and not very private,.  Houston cruise terminal was good, easy to get to and well organized. Will not be cruising with this cruise line again.
