Ship Quality

Only complaint is the smoke that seeps out from the casino into surrounding areas

Cabin / Stateroom

Interior cabin. Just as expected. Kids loved each having their own pullman bed.

Ship tip

Bring change for the washer/dryer. They do not take credit cards.

Ok port. Not pretty to look at. We did NOT book an excursion here. Explored city a little. Hired local for short horse and buggy tour. Had we done actual excursion maybe my opinion would be different?

Disembarkation

Easy breezy. We were in no hurry to end the fun so we got ready for the day and took our bags with us to lido for a last leisurely breakfast. When done were able to walk almost immediately off the ship.
