Ship Quality

Layout ok. Tables in buffet were so sticky we used napkins as placemats. Asked to ne washed, wiped with a rag and moved on. Its a given why passengers get sick. You use handwash at enterance ,but the tables are filthy. Duh!

Cabin / Stateroom

Seemed smaller. Tight passage between cabinets and bed. Doors all loose. Sliding door would not lock, had to use child lock , it was repaired the next day. Shower very small. Steward fantastic, Anand.
