Review summary

The embarkation went well, but having a bad generator gave me no confidence.

Disembarkation felt rude. We were in the last group and had to leave our room an hour before getting off the ship.

Bathroom electrical outlet did not work. Carpet was kind of grungy. Door handle to balcony was badly corroded and even the repair was not good, in my opinion. Again the ship is about to be renovated, but I was not impressed.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 hour wait because of sea emergency was handled quite nicely. The shuttle into town was a nice trip. All employees were extremely helpful. Park-n-Go was outstanding.

Not enough time. The flee market was about all the free time we had and that was short.
