1 out of 5

could not get a reservation until 9pm any night who wants dinner that late

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

pools only had two on for adults and one for everyone, very crowded on sea days

Sunshine Casino

4 out of 5

lots of machines but all smoking and only couple of non smoking machines placed in middle of smoking sections, why not have a NON smoking section

Entertainment

3 out of 5

not to many shows on board but couple they had were good, Some Live band were good some not so good, ship did not even have a ships band for shows all prerecorded music

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

service in stateroom was excellant, Cruise director was excellant, one night in main dinning room was bad, seems short handed and the maitre ds all they did was yell at help maybe they should have taken off they suit jackets and HELPED

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

older ship needs a good paint job, carpets are worn, my step daughters cabin sewer backed up 2 night in row, and all the offered her was 50.00 for her troubles, and it was her first cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

cabin stewards was awesome and did anything we needed him to to, did room make up twice a day, had ice in room very day and night, and towel animals every night

Ship tip

think twice , its an older smaller ship not much to do on ship even stores on board are limited, Casino is ALL smoking except for a few NON smoking machines place in middle of smoking sections
