Service and Staff
Everyone was top notch. At breakfast in the buffet i asked for crispy bacon but they did not have any so I told them I would pass. As I'm walking back to my seat one of the staff in charge said he had someone crisping up some bacon for me and that they would bring it to my table when it was ready. Wow! I did not expect that kind of service.
Ship Quality
I was impressed with the entire ship. For an older ship it was in very nice condition. I liked that it was a smaller ship, so no lines for the most part and service was awesome.
Cabin / Stateroom
Everything was very nice in our room. We always get a balcony but since this was a last minute trip for us, we got the oceanview room and I was worried I would not be happy. But it was just fine and the room stewards were extremely nice.
Ship tip
If you are looking forward to using the pool, you will need the pool ladder to get in and out from. Not easily accessable for elderly.
