Review summary

Older crowd with less kids. Old, not perfect ship and less activities. Trade off: much cheaper and great service by the staff. For a reasonably prized relaxing vacation it’s perfect. We met tons of wonderful people. Be prepared to line dance (all the time). That’s all they do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was an easy, quick embarkation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Lots of varieties, nicely displays. I would like to see a few more healthy options (green steamed veggies), but overall good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

For such a small ship there was a great selection of available activities. The pools are a bit small but it did the job.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Decent

Children's Programs

Did not travel with kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff is excellent. With this smaller and older ship there is a more intimate atmosphere and the staff is tending to customers more individual.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It needs an overhaul and a deep cleaning, but considering the prize on this old lady I got my moneys worth. So I was satisfied and could deal with the downfalls just fine.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Comfort and size were fine, the cleanliness was deficient due to a lazy room steward. But nothing that could not be fixed.

Ship tip

It’s an older crowd and more relaxing versus a large “party” ship. The crowd goes to be early, so if you like to chill on a balcony it might be worth the extra cost. I have never seen so many line dances before. This ship is totally dedicated to line dances almost every few hours.
