Review summary

Although the up front price is low, there are numerous incidental charges that level the cost when compared to other lines. Quality isn't up to the others. Food has gotten worse. Shrimp cocktail for example consists of 4 or 5 tiny peel and eat shrimp that I wouldn't use for bait.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Excellent cabin staff. quarters were adequate but had an awkward layout making it difficult for 2 people to move about at the same time.

Ship tip

Don't bother buying the internet or chat features. They didn't work for any of the 3 couples who traveled with us.
