Review summary

Cruise ship needs a good cleaning and painting. Carpets are dirty. Lots of leaks in ceiling but could be due to humidity. Floor 9 smelled like sewage. What a shame. Enjoy the food and having a balcony. 3 ports were good. Cozumel had great beach. Avoid Belize

Would like to see tips optional. Seemed like service was better when passengers decided the tips

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Starting to show age with rust on balconies. Saw crew members drop paper, look at it and keep walking. Anyone in area around the 9300 cabins will regret the sewage smell. It smelled terrible the entire cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Bed was very hard. On 9th floor, you hear a lot of noise from the deck 10 activities
