Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship needs to be dry-docked and redone.. The Dive-in outdoor movies were good and everyone enjoyed the choices of movies. But the venues on the ship are outdated. Especially the Red Frog Pub..

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Fairly large balcony cabin with an extended balcony. Furniture and bathroom need to replaced.

Ship tip

Plan your own excursions..you can do better and cheaper than the ships offerings. Do the early seating.
