Review summary

Very nice ship. Enjoyed holding grandson at rail as ships horn played “When you wish upon a star.” Didn’t enjoy watching UM give up late lead & lose to knuckleheads from OSU first day out of port. Bummer about hurricane & missing port calls.

Liked the make-believe design of a 40’s 50’s ship. Ship was immaculately maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

Terrific cabins with large balconies.
