Review summary

Great cruise for the money. Dining staff was friendly helpful and attentive to our needs. Half-moon Cay was one of the cleanest teachers I have ever been on. Would have been nice to spend a couple days there . The rooms were OK but in need of major cleaning and or updating. Would not pass a white glove test. Should offer hairdryer.
