Review summary

There wasn't any long lines to get on the ship. The food was pretty good but there wasn't a lot of vegetable choices. Crew was friendly and professional. Get a balcony room in case the weather acting up and you'll still be able to see everything from your room.

Ship crew takes pride in the Spirit; daily cleaning and public area was constant. Older ship in good condition.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was in nice location. The shower didn't drain completely and AC was very low no matter what level It was set on.

Ship tip

Dress in layers with a hoodie sweater/jacket for quick change of weather.
