This was a great cruise! Ship is a little older and in need of repair but otherwise it was a great experience. We were in an Ocean suite that was beautiful and roomy but the smell of mildew in the bathroom was very strong and caused me sinus issues

The cruise was fantastic. Cruise Director a blast.
