We don’t swim but we do enjoy going to the casino from time to time but not on this ship.

Casino

1 out of 5

Full of cigarette smoke and was so nasty with it we couldn’t spend much time here. Needs to be made 100% smoke free.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Production shows were good, but the comedian was boring.

Explorer's Lounge

4 out of 5

Great place for trivia.

All the crew members were friendly and helpful.

Good layout but she is showing her age.

Cabin / Stateroom

This is an accessible cabin so lots of room. Cabin was clean and well appointed.

Show up early to the theater because it fills up quickly.
