This is a nice ship. Sounds to me like a Negative Nancy. The whole experience on this ship was great!

What was your room number? Sorry your cruise was not the best.

A lot of people complain about smelling sewage on cruise ships. These are probably people that don’t spend a lot of time near the ocean. The ocean doesn’t always smell great, and by the time that air settles into the lower decks, it can be unpleasant.

I was on this ship and I always bring a fan. The room I stayed in was so good and cold that I never had to unpack the fan. I guess it just depends on the room.

Sounds like these people need to do a different vacation other than cruising. No matter what cruise line you take there will always be an issue. And the saying goes " You can't please everyone "...

This is an older ship with short itineraries aimed at first time and budget-conscious cruisers. A longer itinerary on a newer ship will usually be a better experience.
