Good cruise, great ports but the ship itself need a lot of TLC. She needs to go home for refurbishment or decommissioned. Did not care for cruise director.

I was on the first cruise after it was refurbished in 2018. It was my first cruise and was not impressed with the ship.

It's a very old ship and good for first timers to gauge if they like cruising.
