Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Lobby Bar

3 out of 5

Small with insufficient seating. Bartender was slow to respond to customers waiting for service and often had to be reminded how to make common cocktails

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedy shows were so-so. Song and dance presentation was entertaining like a high school musical

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Older ship with lots of rust showing along railings. Staff were always busy cleaning common areas. Layout was simple and easy to get around

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Air conditioning constantly blew uncomfortably chilly despite repeated complaints to guest services about room temperature in the 60s. Thankfully our room steward provided additional blankets. On the 5th day a technician finally came to check the system and turned off the fan; cabin warmed to 68F in about three hours.
