Ship Quality

4 out of 5

well maintained but really outdated

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

to small for 4 adults to be comfortable. I have had much better room on my first few cruises both with Carnival and Royal Caribbean. If this is the type of accommodations I get on the next cruise I will look to using other cruiselines

Ship tip

Use a newer ship this one needs a serious up date.
