Not many activities

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Needed entertainment every night - not just an old movie

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Fabulous staff - room service did not follow time we picked for breakfast delivery - 7-7:30 time slot was delivered at 6:15 - very annoying

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Older ship but clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Smallest balcony stateroom we have ever had - room steward was excellent - room was kept very clean - bathroom was claustrophobic at best - no plug ins for chargers or hair dryers except for one.

Ship tip

Buy a meal package for better food - stiffest slots on all ships we have been on - don't think you can win.
