Friendly, always willing to please and very entertaining.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship is looking tired. Needs a reno for sure but it's still a lovely ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size and cleanliness were fine but it's looking old. Definitely needs to be updated soon. The best of course is the extra large balcony.

Ship tip

7th floor, aft balconies are larger by 2 feet deep. Makes all the difference.

Barcelona, Spain

Funchal, Madeira Did not visit port

Oops - the ship did NOT go to this port because of a storm. We went to Tenerife instead which was lovely.

Ponta Delgada, Azores Did not visit port

Again, we did not go there because of a storm; La Palma, Grand Canary was our stop instead. It's a perfect place to go to the beach.
