Review summary

The ship is nice but a bit outdated for today's expectations. Technology has passed this ship's current capabilities: example 1 - limited number of people accessing the internet at the same time; 2 - wifi access was spotty for android and smartphone use; 3 - who uses DVDs to watch movies? The movie selections were dated and not available because the DVD wasn't returned. Another issue was our first impression of the room was a torn pillow case and improperly installed curtains.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We liked the dining room experience better than the buffet.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Generally good with exception of Dancing with Stars which was lame

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

This is a nice size ship for extended cruising - large enough to have some variety yet small enough to feel like you know your way around without getting lost.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Nice size room and bathroom. The decor was adequate although it had outdated color schemes especially in the bathroom.

Pros: Seeing SE Asia with all the comforts of a cruise ship without the hassles of changing hotels.

Cons: Difficulty with shore excursions and ports of call being quite far from major attractions
