Review summary

Beautiful ship and amazing staff. The ports were good. The entertainment was a bit subpar... but it is still a cruise so who cares? The ship lost an engine and we had to skip 2 ports... but hey it happens. Still better than being at work. Love this ship.

Great cruise. Had some engine problems but still had fun. Would like more ventilation in casino

Nice overall, but several hard to overcome issues
