Review summary

too many issues to cover but missed ports weather and ship problems caused cancellation of a port and a delayed arrival into a second port. Lines everywhere on the ship. Poorly designed to house 4000 passengers

Ship Quality

Worst ever the theater holds 800 but the ship holds 4000. The next largest showroom held 150 approximately. Restaurants too small for passenger size. Pool too small to use
