Review summary

They asked if we were celebrating any special occasion, which we were, anniversary. They never acknowledged it on the entire trip. Why even ask ???

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Although Charleston is pretty rundown the embarkation went smooth and we were on the ship within 1/2 hour

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Went to the steak house and wasn't too impressed. Service was very slow and food was just average. A waste of $84 in my opinion.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward was not the best we have ever had. Room was not cleaned well and we needed to ask for everything. Dining service was spotty.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship's getting old. Paint touchup is needed everywhere, especially the cabins. Kind of like an old motel

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

As expected, big enough for 2 people. When we arrived there was a band aid and a tooth flosser on the floor and the tops of things, fridge, shelves hadn't been dusted in a long time.

Ship tip

Don't expect this ship to be top of the line. It's good for what you have invested in the trip though

If it was your anniversary when you were on the ship you needed to let them know when you booked it! It did ask you when you booked. If you would have told them at booking they would have acknowledged it on the day, they have never failed to acknowledge our anniversary or birthdays!
