Review summary

I really liked the ports of call. I didn't like the ship a lot and probably will not cruise on it again. It is an old ship and the design was a little convoluted and different "smells" prevailed throughout (sometimes a musty smell and sometimes a sewer smell). The cabin came with 2 port holes and it was nice except sometimes that "sewer smell" hit you in the nose when entering it). The cabin steward was wonderful!! Our dining room waiters in the beginning were awful and after 2 nights we requested to be seated in a different location which got us much better dining room waiters who were very personable and customer service oriented. However, the service just seemed to be exceptionally slow. We watched other areas with different dining room waiters being served much faster. Overall, I didn't think the food was that good but I managed to stick with things that I liked as much as I could. Embarkation/disembarkation went smoothly. On the last night, I won a free cruise through the casino!!! That was nice!!
