Review summary

It was a good 3 nights but they can do better to capture those first timers. Bars get crowed since they are slow serving. Not that many servers for drinks. Food is average. Entertainment is boring as their best.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

You will repeat the process after you check in online. While was a fast process they do the same thing at the port.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For an old ship it was really well keep and upbeat.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We had a Oceanview for 3. The top bed was too low to the main bed. Bathroom is section in 3 but really small.

Ship tip

Be patient at the bars as they are slower than any other cruise line. Ship is small and entertainment is not that good but Atrium bar is one of the good spots. Buffet is not impressive.
