Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Design was ok but onboard theater appeared it needed a good cleaning as every time we went (4 days) there was thick dust on the exit sign and a light on side wall was burned out-some areas of balcony as well as some outside deck areas had a lot of rust

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very nice for an older ship lots of storage in cabin - room attendant kept it very clean and fresh smelling

Rather than have a waiter who may be having a bad cruise ruin your trip just change tables. Rule #1, it's your vacation, enjoy it.
