Review summary
Overall, we really enjoyed this cruise. We love At Sea days which is what attracted us to this cruise in the first place. The ship, while older, was clean and well-maintained. After dropping us in Miami it was headed to Nassau for dry dock so I imagine it will be updated. The entertainment was ok, it was definitely geared towards the older demographic which is fine. We are in our early 30s so Disco and Big Band nights didn't really appeal to us, but they seemed very popular among the older crowd. We loved the trivia and the Centrum game shows. The art auctions were really fun (free champagne!) and the Solarium was really relaxing. The food was great! We did the galley brunch and sushi making class and really enjoyed both of this, definitely will do them again. I do wish the restaurants had better hours as they seemed closed far more often than I would have liked. On top of that, they used to offer free 24 hour room service but now it comes with a $7.99 delivery charge which we were very disappointed about. The room was great! Since this was a longer cruise we actually unpacked and put clothes away so we could put our suitcases in the closet and that freed up so much space. The shower is a bit small but probably no smaller than other cruise ships. I did enjoy the abundance of storage space in both the bathroom and the main room, that helped cut down on the clutter.Embarkation

Ship tip
Room service is 24 hours but charges $7.99 for delivery plus the gratuity. This was disappointing since the restaurants have limited hours.
