Review summary

The ship was nice, but old. Some of the details were not up to the level of other cruise liners I have been on. For example, the shower had a cheap soap dish that was not stable. Also, the ship was small and there was not much choice in entertainment, although the entertainment was very good. In addition, there were not many restaurant/meal options like on larger ships.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

As mentioned above, there weren't many options for meals; however, the food was very well prepared and tasty.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

As mentioned above, there was not much choice in entertainment, but what there was was good. The timing wasn't very good for the late dinner seating.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our stateroom attendant was wonderful! He was available 24/7 and always asked about my mother and me. The dining room steward was very personable and knew everyone's name by the second night. He provided anything we asked for.

Cabin / Stateroom

The problem with the room was that the window looked out on the lower promenade deck, which meant we could not leave the curtains open because people were constantly passing by the window.
