We were a family of five. Two of us were in our fifties three were in their twenties. We had two balconies side by side. Yes the ship is old, but we felt everything was in good shape and truly enjoyed our 8 day cruise. I would not hesitate to go on that ship again. And again I want to mention how good the food was in the main dining room. And the comedy at the punchliner is always a hoot

Service and Staff

Eddy our cabin steward did a great job. Kept us supplied with ice. Our waitress in the dining room Victoria and her staff were amazing we were in tears our last night. Our safe in the cabin malfunctioned within 10 minutes somebody was there to fix it
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
For how old is ship is we thought it looked just fine. We read a lot of negativity about the pink it was fine the only thing we noticed on the Lido deck at lunch it took awhile for the tables to be cleaned
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
I can't say it was spotless but we always bring sanitize wipes and wipe it down ourselves. Especially the telephone, TV remote, and all the handles and switches. The refrigerator is quite old but it worked fine. One of the mornings they did maintenance and cleaned all the balconies. I wish the water pressure was better. I like the location you do hear the Lido deck but not at night when you're trying to sleep. We were on the 8th floor the 5th floor was comedy and the casino the 3rd floor was dinner
Ship tip
Bring a power strip because there is only one Outlet in the cabin. Make sure you understand when the cabin Stewart ask you about cleaning your room seems like they want you to pick day or night but we chose both. I enjoy the casino but the good slots are in the smoking section and I'm not a smoker. Don't forget to check out above the Lido deck there's a barbecue place with very good food. There's a staircase in the Lido dining area that takes you up there.
We did a catamaran snorkeling trip. The snorkeling wasn't that good very short distance from the ship and too many people in the water. The beach they took us to afterwards was very very nice and of course the beer and rum punch helps a lot. On the way back in he stopped the boat and a plane went right over us going to moho Airport
We did the ATV ride. What a blast I really recommend it it's worth the money. We rode for over 2 hours. Went back to the ship ate lunch and then went snorkeling on our own. Great snorkeling in front of the big whale
Something was going on at the Port we never really found out what. We got off the ship by 9 we did not get out of the terminal till after 11. We think they were looking for someone there was dog there sniffing everybody suitcases. This was very unusual the luggage handlers told me
