It was a great experience for my first cruise! The ship was not luxurious, but kept up well! The food was good but not great! But there was always plenty of it!

Ship tip
Be aware that you cannot go from one point of the ship to the other without possibly taking an elevator up/down or stairs! Then you must get on another elevator! You are not told this so most of the trip we spent trying to get from point A to point B. Elevators need to be marked on the outside to show which floors it goes to with instructions on how to get to other floors! Never book a room below the dining hall, there was scraping of chairs all night as they cleaned; we were on level 8 and level 9 was the dining room. The deck was pleasant until people started smoking next to us! The sign outside on the balcony says not to throw cigarette butts into the ocean, But it should say "No Smoking" as well! It appears if its okay to smoke, just don't throw your cigarettes into the ocean!
