Review summary

This is a ship for very old people or with limited mobility. The pastry chef should be fired. Not much activity on the ship, so you better get off when you can. Staff is wonderful!!!!! Steakhouse was excellent.

Ship tip

If you like music and singers or bands at the pool. Or look forward to awesome deserts, then this ship is not for you. A very old and sleepy passengers are the norm.
