Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although dated it was in very good condition. Ship is going to dry dock in late fall for refurbishing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size was fine and was very clean thanks to our cabin steward Navin who was wonderful. Our first morning our toilet broke off of wall. Maintenance was there in about 5 to 8 min. replaced toilet with newer model !!!

Ship tip

Don't be afraid of "My Time Dinning" we had very minimal wait times. If you don't want to gain a lot of weight stay away from the buffet. Not that it wasn't good but the more food you see the more you eat. LOL
