Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The ship is a old ship and looked it. There were tears in the seats in the lobby. The tables looked very worn. there was a lot of rust also. The ships upkeep was poor. Compared to the ship in Mobile, which is about the same age the Mobile ship was much cleaner. We were at port in Nassau with three other ships and it was by far the worst looking ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

It was small, compared to other ships we have been on. The Cabin Steward did not do a good job cleaning it. The mattress is well used and needs to be replaced.
