Review summary

Older ship had mechanical issues, but did not interfere with our cruise. Staff was great, interesting ports of call.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

A little hectic. Stood in long lines in hot terminal. I’ve had smoother embarkations

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Great Gatsby Dining Room

4 out of 5

Quality of food on par with Other cruises I’ve been on

Windjammer Marketplace

2 out of 5

Lack of variety. Disorganized stations. Food not the best

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Basic amenities. Wished for a larger variety

Solarium

5 out of 5

Solarium is a hidden gem. Lovely to relax in

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

Looser slots than you would typically find on a cruise ship. Several in our party walked away ahead

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Entertainment was uneven. Big dance shows were sloppily put together, although the singing/dancing talent did great with what they had. Wished for more comedy, particularly all ages comedy

Library

2 out of 5

Library was off centrum, not enclosed

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Felt like we had made some actual friendships

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

For an older ship, decor was nice in an understated way. Clean

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Smaller than other ships. Didn’t like outlet placement. Clean. Well designed storage

Ship tip

Passengers tend to be older and local to the area( Maryland and Virginia) not a lot of heavy drinking

Sailed her a few years ago and ran into her last year at Cocoa Cay. Would love to sail her again!
