Review summary

Was it a a good cruise, yes was it great No.? The lack of certain wines coverage on the drink package, there should have been an adjustment of the price we paid. The ship being so old and showing its age effected the overall enjoyment.

Ship Quality

For as old as the ship is they kept it clean, but it's run down. Just an old layout -

Cabin / Stateroom

The curtains were so dirty and disgusting. The furniture has seen better days. Very Very Small and we had a balcony.

I think that's where cruise lines are right now with alcohol on ships. Hopefully as they progress they will get back to where they should be. Certain ships are out of different liquors or wines but another ship will have that but be out of others. Same cruise line, same home port, different ships. They've cut back and charging more for less since we're cruising again.
