Glad you enjoyed it. I have seen several complaints about the ship being too small, too old, worn out, etc. There is still a place for the smaller ships that can visit ports that larger ships cannot visit and provide a more relaxed experience than the larger ships with options everyone may not want or need to have an enjoyable experience.
