Review summary
The ship is almost 20 years old. It was kept up well, but there are two little pools and two spas for 3,500 people. It was cold the whole time we were on the cruise and could not get into a spa because they were packed with little kids. It's nice having the ships with an adult pool and a few spas scattered around so you can get a chance to get in one. The food was not very good. It's nice to go on cruises because the food is generally top notch but this one was not so good. I think I got one really good meal the entire time. We got a decent price but I think I would have rather paid more and gotten on a newer ship. Sidenote, we contacted a couple times to make some changes and they were very friendly and helpful. I would most definitely book a vacation thought them again.Ship experiences
