Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was clean - slightly dated, though. ADA compliant? We had a wheelchair-bound individual with us, and there were a lot of ridges to get over, which made transporting a bit difficult

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was maintained each day - loved the little extras! Staff really went out to accommodate. We had 3 people in the room and a cot was provided and bedded.
