My 92 year old Dad and I decided to take this cruise together to create memories, relax, and just have fun together. Personally, I was very impressed with the beauty of the ship. Quite frankly, I did not expect it to be attractive as it was. Centrum was breathtaking for an older ship. Others had described it as a mixed bag of new and old, but I found all areas to be fresh and well maintained and truly lacking any worn-out look.

Embarkation: My Dad is 92 and walks with a cane. The RC staff were extremely accommodating in assisting him. They were all smiles and very warm and welcoming. We were on the ship in less than 15 minutes. Rooms were not accessible until 1:30, so that was the only drawback to embarking early. We could go to Windjammer to eat lunch and stroll the ship, but I could not drop off my carry-on bag. Others found that to be inconvenient as well.

Cabin: When we finally arrived at our cabin, both my Dad and I were impressed with how spacious it was. We had a nice size window vs just a porthole with a good view of the sea. Cabin was immaculately clean. Linens were very fresh. Room had lots of niches for storage. Suitcases fit perfectly under our beds. Bathroom was in good shape. Water pressure in shower was excellent, but both my Dad and I did not like the vessel sink. It was challenging to get your hand under the tiny faucet and the water pressure was not good as well.

Cabin Review

Panoramic Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin F

Nice size room with large window vs. a porthole which let a lot of light in. No obstructions in from of the window. I chose this cabin, as I was traveling with my 92 year old Dad, and it is just steps to the nearest elevator. Elevator drops you off right next to Windjammer buffet. Not a good location if you want to be closer to the dining room or the centrum from my Dad's perspective. Lots of storage space. You can hear heavy footed people in the cabin above you.
