As I was on the same cruise as another reviewer I was amazed that he felt so strongly and so critical of the cruise!
The ship encountered a cat 2 hurricane storm - the reason for many of the closures of facilities and why some of the maintenance had to be squeezed in to a shorter period. The ship put on a cocktail party to thank the guests for their support during this period.
The ship is looking tired and is in need of it's refit in March 2015 but is CLEAN and doesn't smell. The guest profile is wide - from children to the octogerian but at no time did I sit listening to music from the 40's. The only time this type of music was played was at the dance classes. Visit Gatsby's or Red Lion in the evening and you'd have heard music ranging from Pop, Motown, Rock to well known hits of recent years.
