Review summary

This our third cruise was very enjoyable,we struck up a relationship with two couples whom we met on the ship and shared many happy moments together.Belize was the port (Placencia Village) we enjoyed most,friendly people,interesting signs ,beautiful art,tasty food.Maybe because it's an older ship the cabin was small, could not accommodate a chair thus we were not comfortable .There was also no coffee maker in the cabin.Kudos to the duo at the buffet who devise a very creative hand sanitizing song using the melody of an old Beatles song.lnformation with respect to last port and destination port of call when viewed from the ships information channel was not always correct,and it appears that gratuities were expected to be paid twice.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Being an older ship one cannot expect it to be up to the design of modern vessels. The level of sanitation was very high

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Small but clean, could not accommodate a chair. No coffee maker.
