Review summary

Overall, enjoyed the 4 at-sea days. Ship is older and has some crowding issues. Also, cruising in August means a lot of kids on board...many running unsupervised. Be aware smoking is allowed in casino and staff is reluctant to tell someone not to smoke in the nonsmoking area of casino. Entertainment is mostly ship's staff of singers and dancers, but they were good. One show was a magician. No "big" name entertainers. Service in-room and Lido Marketplace was excellent.

Found the adult pool and hot tub difficult to use for older people, because of steps.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Lots of storage, but very small cabin. Cabin was very clean. Only problem was water backing up through bathroom drain. Appeared to be shower water and not sewage. Happened 3 times and flooded bathroom floor. Also, balcony windows were very dirty and were finally washed on last cruise day.
