Had exactly the opposite experience. Staff were incredibly friendly and everything was very clean. It is an old ship, but knew that going in.

This is an older ship on a short itinerary primarily aimed at first-time and budget conscious cruisers. It’s Always a good idea to do research and understand what you are getting on booking a cruise. Try a new ship on a seven day or longer itinerary for a much better experience
