The ship was a disappointment, it was understaffed, and the entertainment was very poor. The cruise missed a major port of call, I got severe food poisoning and spent 2 days in isolation. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone.

Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
Cabin was typical - very small - staff was exceptional.
Very poorly organized. Port was closed for 12 hours for fog. I was in quaranteen so I was the last to exit the ship - after being so sick - should have been the first to exit the ship.
