The ports were great. The entertainment was good, but wished there was a comedy show. Dinner service was slower than usual. Food tasted good. The ships odors were unbearable many times throughout the trip. Inside the cabins smelled like diahrea. Drinks were VERY expensive.

Ship Quality

Everything appeared clean but areas were under renovation and strong gas odors and paint fumes could be smelt throughout the ship. At times our eyes and throats burned from it. Inside the cabins it smelt like diarrhea sewage. Several customers complained about the same issues.

Cabin / Stateroom

Smaller than other ships. Inside the cabin it smelt like diarrhea and sewage. Other guests complained of this too. It always smelled like someone just went "number two".
