Everything I had in MDR was very good. Ate at Alfredo’s for lunch several times. First time to try the Pub Lunch - liked it so much we went twice

Always something to do , trivia, NFL games shown movies under the stars , relaxing back by the sanctuary and of course the Casino Liars club was great, as was the marriage match game and passenger feud

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Older ship so definitely shows her age. There was a drain problem in the Casino which flooded apparently several staterooms on deck 5 flooded and passengers had to be moved. Casino was closed for 2-3 days (during port days) where you could not even walk through -had to dry our the carpets etc
