We really enjoyed this cruise. While the ship is older, the condition was fine, and very clean. The staff and crew were so friendly and made the whole cruise a fun adventure. Bobby the cruise directer was fantastic and made the on board activities so much fun with his enthusiasm. He also publicly acknowledged the diverse staff and their hard work on the cruise which was very nice, and made everyone feel like a big cruise family. We loved the diversity of the people from all over the world taking this cruise and made friends from India, Spain and many other countries.
The food in the main dining room was not that great, and the service was slow so we ended up eating in windjammer for almost every meal - we thought it was better quality and were able to get in and out quickly and at more flexible times. We had dinner at Chops one night and it was worth the extra money - very good food, quiet atmosphere, and great service.
There were a lot of extra things they tried to up sell us on - drink packages, photos, etc. We did not get the drink package and were thankful we didn’t because just didn’t even come close to spending that much on alcohol. (Paid as we went).
Older ship so older rooms, but very clean, great view, and comfortable bed. Plenty of room for all of our things, not nearly as small as we thought it would be. Very small shower - talk people beware :)
