Review summary

It was pleasant because of the destination but this ship would have been brutal in any other situation. It is very poorly maintained and tired looking. The staff of course is amazing, it is not their fault. But maintenance on this ship is very disruptive. They came a few times to paint while we were in there, really? Isn't this more of an off season project or a port day project?

Thanks for the review.

I find it amusing when people complain about a ship needing maintenance, painting, etc., yet complain when the crew is actually doing maintenance or painting. The ships sail every day other than when in dry dock every 4-5 years, so maintenance, painting and repairs have to be done while passengers are aboard.
