Review summary

This ship is tired. It either needs to be redone or sold to a lesser line. At worst renamed and sent to the breakers in Alang.

Room stew excellent, main dine good but very focused on post cruise review scoring. Hotel staff- not great. English VERY hard to understand. Witnessed some elderly people give up and start to walk away.

Ship Quality

Old, dated, rust, tired

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Measured 152 sq ft not 176. Rosa our stew kept it immaculate but appeared to have same fabrics as in 2018 Abu Dhabi cruise. 6002, 6004 & 6006 all complained about cig smoke coming up from crew smoking lounge directly below on 5. First they denied. Then offered to have us repack and move. It got ugly and they finally put a stop to smoking or somehow blocked the vent system. Poor crew management.

Ship tip

Spend the extra money for a balcony room. Buy drinks versus package.

This ship missed dry dock due to Covid, hopefully it makes it in this year or next.
