Review summary
The food and service in the main dining room was great. Ship itself was old but well maintained. Very few on board amenities available on this ship as compared to other Royal Caribbean vessels. Almost all shipboard services were stopped on the last day of the voyage. We were not able to obtain refreshments or photos prior to disembarking, even though we were willing to pay for them. The boarding process was difficult and tedious. We were not permitted to bring a weather radio on board, even though there was no written instruction prohibiting this.
Ports of call in Cuba and Mexico were interesting and we were well prepared by the on board seminars on what to expect. Although the weather did not cooperate, we still managed to enjoy our shore excursions.
