Ship Quality

Curtain design needs changing....sheer torn because it catches on Velcro and leaves gap in centre...too many poker/slot machines not used taking up space.

Cabin / Stateroom

Apart from curtains it was great.

Ship tip

Any time dining is great and be prepared to share a table to meet people.l
