Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Can tell staffing was short handed, most are overworked and you can tell. Everyone was plenty nice, just can see they are tired.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was clean, but time for upgrade. Carpet is very worn and faded and some things are just worn out.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

A lot to do, book mid ship if you can.

Not too bad, just same type of folks going where they shouldn’t and causing hold ups. Lack of people directing elevators to help those with special needs get on elevators was a problem. I had to go down and get someone to help the 10 plus people trying to get on to get off ship.
