Review summary

I liked the food in the dining room, it has improved since previous cruises.  The wi-fi was not working properly with my phone in the fitness center.  I missed not having reruns of the love boat show on the tv's in my room.  Fitness equipment is outdated and also not maintained.  The selection in the horizon court was okay.  More entertainment would be nice. But no, I would not recommend this cruise ship to anyone, it's a bit too old needs major upgrading.  Our steward who was Marlon, was amazingly, could not asked for a better and smarter steward.  Never had to ask him for anything, he was on top of his game. Best steward we ever had.  He made the cruise delightful in that respect.

Do you know how many formal nights are on this cruise? And which night they do it. I can't seem to find that information
