Review summary

This ship has engine problems that they knew about before we sailed. Could not go as fast as it should. We got to ports late and did not have a lot of time at the ports. This ship was going out again when we left the ship. It was more like just a nice boat ride. I would not recommend this ship until issues are fixed. Everyone was shorted on their trip.
