Review summary

Being that it is an older ship, there was nothing special about it. The interior could use a little updating and jazzing up to create a more lively setting. It definitely needs quite a few cosmetic maintenance overall.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

It's a small ship so there are no restaurants other than the usual main dining room and an upper deck cafe that serves buffet style.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Very predictable. The least memorable entertainment on a cruise we've ever been. Perhaps it's because it's a Mediterranean cruise and the typical cruisers on this itinerary are empty nesters. Our teenagers found company their age though and had fun among themselves and the activities staff.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The staff are friendlier and more relaxed, but the service felt a little hurried especially in the uppder deck cafe.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

first small ship we cruised on.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We had an indoor stateroom and the size is customary for our category choice. The bathroom is smaller though. It also needs updating.
