Intro - This is the first cruise that I had been on in quite a while and I was looking forward to getting away for a few days, relaxing, and enjoying some good food and good times. Mind you, I have high standards, and even though this review may seem a bit harsh, if I am on vacation, I want to things to be done right. So here it goes...

Ship - I broke this down in to the 3 different categories; the room, the ship decks, and the entertainment.

Room - Where to start? We had an "ocean view" room, which I was told was larger than average by most standards. The fact that it was labeled "ocean view" though was a joke. Only had the windows been clean enough to see out the window, then MAYBE could I then have seen a lick of the ocean. The ceiling was pink. Yes, pink...like salmon colored. It was so bad that I couldn't stand to look at it when lying in bed so I had to roll onto my side. The picture behind our bed had a chip of glass missing from it. The dresser panel was falling off. The towels and (on occasion) our sheets were stained. The handle on the ice bucket was missing so it was difficult to open from the top. The shower had a leak so there was no pressure. The water temperature was either cold or scalding. The color scheme was something out of the Miami Vice 80's...overall room rating - F (I was grossed out when I was in it unless I had been drinking).
