Review summary

I really enjoyed getting away for a 7 day vacation!  I had a small indoor cabin, but it was okay, once the toilets started flushing and the ac was fixed!  The main entertainment was mostly good, especially the one night when there were acrobats mixed with a very good magician.  The one night I hated was the Monday show when the ship had its women dancers grabbing their breasts and motioning down to their you know whats.  I walked out because it was pornographic.  Most of the singing groups were just okay, though the band that played rock from 10 PM one night was very good.  The man in charge of our room was pretty good, esp. when I could understand him.  A couple of the waiters were outstanding, but most were apathetic, forgetful, or even rude.  I went because the price was better than anything around, but I prefer Carnival, which I know is hardly the industry standard.

Cabin / Stateroom

Only 142 sq. ft., which is about 20% less than Carnival for an inside. The ac wasn't working right and it took 18 hours to address the problem. It was okay, esp. when you know up front what you are going to get. We would rather pay less and stay out of our room most of the time to have fun!

Ship tip

It is a medium sized ship that made me feel the rocking a little more than on bigger ships. It's nice that it is pretty casual for dressing, though if you want formal dressing, this would not be your ship. The food was decent, but they want you to pay more for specialty restaurants, liquor, etc.
