Review summary

While this ship does not have some of the amenities of some of the newer larger ships I had a great time. I did miss some things that we had on the first cruise, The buffett was smaller, the shows were not first rate, But if you just want to get out and relax the price is good and the views or the Gulf of Mexico are the same you would see on the larger more expensive hips.

I do not have photos of this cabin to share but it really would be helpful if the cruise lines would show in a photo how much obstruction there is.  The next time I tour a ship, I will be sure to ask to see a cabin with an obstructive view & then take a photograph of the view from the window.
