There is not as much to do in this ship as on the bigger ships. They provide lots of trivia sessions which I usually like. The passenger age seemed surprisingly old on this sailing but I was told by someone who had been on the ship the previous week that the passengers had been a younger set and the bands playing around the ship had been better.

Older ship without the whistles and bells of the newer ones, however I think that keeps the children away! I love the smaller ships!

Be ready to be BOMBARDED by people trying to upsell you! Honestly, I found it very difficult to take after awhile. Someone was always pushing alcohol packages, dinner packages, etc. I just wish they did that when you're boarding on that first day, then leave it alone. It's almost as bad as being on the beach in the Bahamas or Jamaica, where someone walks up trying to sell you beads or tshirts or a massage every 2 seconds. That is NOT relaxing.

Shop legit excursion sites with the locals vs the boat's shore excursions to save LOTS of money! And if you like booking with the ship, make sure you book prior to the cruise sail day for better savings or it will cost you greatly.

They up sell at every corner on this cruise. You can’t escape it, so if there’s something you want, haggle with them. I negotiated a great 2 night dining package at Giovanni’s and Chops and my daughter ate free. Also, don’t buy the wine they sell on the last day by the bottle...was told a $70 bottle was selling for $20 when that bottle is available at my local Walmart for $10. Don’t get muscled. Other than that, great ship.

I would never sail this ship again. It felt that this ship was going to be used as long as there was a profit and minimal effort to enhance or even maintain.

Do not sail on this ship from Israel, the passengers are beyond rude and aggressive, especially towards the crew
