Review summary

The excursions and the staff were great! We did enjoy ourselves because of these factors. However the ship itself was extremely old and worn. They did not properly clean the stateroom.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The furnishing were dirty and highly worn. For example the dining room seat cushions had holes and were threadbare. The lights were leaking water when it rained.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The stateroom was very dirty when we checked in. The bathroom and rugs had not been cleaned. We requested cleaning twice before I would consider it clean. The couch was disgustingly dirty. It also looked like the furniture was from the 1980s

Ship tip

Pick another ship, but the staff was great

We love the Spirit class ships for size and layout. They aren't the fanciest with all of the modern bells and whistles of the latest classes, but we have never had a bad cruise on a Spirit ship, even the Legend. And yes, we have cruised most of the classes - just no Vista yet. Hope everyone reads a variety of reviews on her, as one person's "old" may be your favorite!

The ship was refurbished not long ago in Portland Oregon I believe. We sailed on her in May. Our room was very clean as was The other room in our group. We had a fantastic time. Would sail on her anytime we get a chance

Sounds like this ship needs to be dry docked , or just retired .
