Review summary

Unfortunately, our cruise was during 'spring break'.  I cannot blame the cruise line, but we found it way too crowded at the pools and way too loud at the bars.  The walls of the cabin were so thin, we could hear the kids in the next cabin crying because they did not want to go to bed.  So it woke us up every night.  The ship was older, and really could have used some sprucing up.  Food was just okay, but service was great.  The dining room had a sign 'no shorts or tank tops', but they let people in with torn jeans and tee shirts.

walls were so thin, we could hear every word spoken next door and drapes were kinda ratty looking.
