Having read prior reviews, I did not expect much from this ship. Unfortunately, I was not surprised by anything exceptional.
The port information presentation was very limited although the ship excursions were great. The only reason to cruise on this ship is its destinations!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
The first day I had the speciality drink of the day. At $15.00 it was the only drink I had on the ship.
As a vegetarian I found the food choices very limited and repetitive. I think this ship has a thrifty food budget and wants guests to pay more to eat in the speciality restaurant$.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
A lot of the daytime onboard active activities were to sell us something or had an additional charge. I used the fitness center often and it was adequate. Not large but had the necessities.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
I hate being negative about all this but I was disappointed by the ships musicians "Souled Out". My favorite performer was the female violinist.
Service and Staff
2 out of 5
Wow, I have never experienced a ship's crew be so unhelpful. If I had a question and they did not know the answer, no attempt was made to help get the answer. If it's not their job, it's not their job.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
I like the ship's size, it was easy to get from one end to the other. The ship is older and dated in some areas.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
I traveled alone and this was my first experience with an inside cabin. It was small in size but fine for myself. I was fine not having windows as it encouraged me to stay out of the cabin. What I don't understand is why they cannot provide adequate lighting. Some Bright LED light bulbs would have been a better choice than the dim dull fluorescent light.
Ship tip
Bring a variety of medications in case you get sick. Many adults still don't cover their mouth when they cough. I was so fortunate not to get sick. There is room for improvement on the ship regarding germ contamination!
We cruised on the ship just over a year ago, the ship was small but very good. All the crew were friendly and the bar staff outstanding. Le Bistro was exceptional as well as Cagneys. The cabins were old but very clean and tidy. Loved the ship and our cruise through the Med.
