While most of the staff was friendly and helpful, the food choices were not enough. The boat is very old and doesn't have facilities that newer boats have.

I have been at sea for 40 years I loved the ship it was great to have wooden decks, sure it is a bit tired in some areas but we did not pay premium prices so did not expect 5star

Built in 1998, holding approximately just under 2000 guest, it would not have the ability to keep up with the newer ships with all their flash and slides. Sometimes, a ship needs to stay true to its self and leave all that glamor for another ship to carry the burden. Not every ship is meant to wow in the same capacity. Hence, there are different passengers for different experiences upon the seas.
