Review summary

While this is an older ship, it was immaculate and had enough amenities to make for an extremely pleasant cruise. The highlight, however, was the crew. For my wife and myself, this was our 15th cruise, and the crew and staff were the best we ever had on any ship on any cruise line. It certainly made up for any minor imperfections of the cruise.

As with most ships, the cabins were small but well appointed. There was more storage space than we expected. About 30 square feet more in cabin space would be ideal.

Meals were excellent. The chef on the ship had a wonderful way with his appetizers and meats.

Entertainment was mixed. The best entertainment was the Headliner Showcase shows, which were consistently excellent. The ship's production cast was capable, but not outstanding.

Ports of call were nice and land excursions were excellent.

Boarding and Debarking were the easiest ever on a cruise.

Overall.....a wonderful cruise experience. I already booked my next one.

Anyone know when the boat is getting refurbished? What are they updating and how long will that take?
