This was my second cruise. We chose this cruise because the port is close to home. But I hated it from the time we got on board. The ship is old and dated. Something in the venting made a lot of people sick with allergy type symptoms by the time we got off the ship many people were coughing and congested including me.

As someone else said getting around on the ship is a pain and the elevators were horribly slow. There are also a LOT of people on the ship. We had to wait in lines for everything. The food was OK but not great. The premixed drinks are weak. Choose a regular bar drink (gin and tonic) for some punch. Their wine list is made up of a bunch of cheap wine, so if you enjoy wine bring your own. They do have a cigar bar at the back of the ship on the 5th deck, but they don't tell anyone it's OK to smoke cigars there. If I'd found it earlier, I might have frequented it more often.
