Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Our state room had marks on the wall and looked dirty. We had a problem with rust coming out the air vent.

Cabin / Stateroom

We were eligible for an upgrade, however we were passed over because we chose a room to make sure we had a good one. Our United Agent didn't tell us that, and the only way we could upgrade was to pay $600a more, although our ship wasn't full. Cabin was nice overall, but we had a problem with black rust coming out the air vent for a couple of days. And the walls appeared dirty with marks on them.

Ship tip

I enjoyed the quietness with more seniors on board.
