Review summary
Showing it's age a bit / small shopping area and other amenities. We stayed on the back of the ship and was not aware the nearest steps or elevator were at mid-ship or approximately 150' to 200' away. The rooms showed their age (a bit small) and required rounded beds to allow walking around the beds. I'm 6'4" and with this type of bed, it left the bed much shorter than my height. A wonderful cruise ship if one is new at cruising, but doesn't stand up to the new modern ships. Could not recommend this ship to long time cruiser, until possibly stretched or overhauled.Ship experiences
