We chose this cruise to do something different over New Years. We traveled with friends and the cruise was suggested by one of our friends. It was in general a fun cruise. The ship is a little tired. I did however, dislike the smoking in the casino as I felt like I was in an ashtray and did not stay more than 4-5 minutes, the odor carried into some of the lounges and exiting the shows you would pass through the casino. The elevators were extremely slow so you were forced to use the stairways more than you would like. In the future i would be looking for a newer ship with the amenities that are necessary for medical devices, CPAP machines. I would probably look at a higher end cruise line. The embarkation and disembarkation process is much better than it has been on our past cruising experiences. At the end of the day we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves.
