Very small and run down boat. Definitely due for some upgrades. Our room 11030 very inconvenient only 2 elevators go to the floor and one is usually locked out at the busiest times. Our room was very noisy (there is some sort of machine room below.

Seems like cruising may not be for you. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone. As far as the cabin issues, it’s always important to do some research and choose a cabin location that has other cabins above, below and around your cabin to reduce the chances of noise issues. In regards to the food, we have always found a good selection, variety and quality in both the dining room and buffet.

Disembarking by floor is how they try to avoid chaos

It looks like you’ve been on sunshine before why the rating so low I just traveled in May just being on the ship should allow them higher then a 2.5
