Review summary

Overall, the cruise was very nice. I really enjoyed the ports and the the food was excellent. The only draw back is that they need to make their alcohol packages more affordable.

Loved all of the food, but the drinks are just too expensive.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

This particular ship could use more pools. The pool was always too crowded and you can rarely find a seat.

Except that there was a ketchup stain on the wall of the room when we got there that stayed through the whole trip.

Even older ships have their appeal. We are convinced that the cruise lines don’t make money on the cruise or the food (maybe specialty restaurants), but on the drinks and the casino.
