Review summary

Honestly, they probably shouldn't advertise the ship as being refurbished. I'm sure that it got a coat of paint and maintenance, but the places where guests have access are definitely showing its age. I would have given the ship a 3, except that the staff was AMAZING.

Cabin / Stateroom

The bed was the WORST. I think the mattress must be as old as the ship.

Ship tip

One thing I wish I had seen in other reviews was a warning about how small their restaurants are. You pretty much need to reserve any specialty dining plans before your cruise. Day One we tried to make a reservation and the only opening left was for 9p on the last night.

The ship is in great shape. Yes there are passengers do there is the occasional scuff mark. Be real!

So you went on a cruise to relax and enjoy i am assuming and you worry about the paint on the walls and the decor?
