Very nice ship and itinerary. Not fussy, but comfortable.

2 out of 5

Slow and disorganized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Slow and crowded

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

All I wanted and needed was there

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Many live musicians, some were outstanding!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Mostly Excellect! Management of main dining rooms was the only weakness.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Clean and modern without being overdone. Easy to get around, but the buffet is not designed for good flow when crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Clean, well designed, sufficient storage and comfortable but lacked outlets.

Ship tip

Great for an older no-frills ship. But not to be compared with a newer super- ship with more amusements.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Too short a stop to see or do anything beyond a few blocks from the ship. Should have at least half a day or don't bother.
