I was quite apprehensive about this cruise after reading reviews of this ship, many of which were not that flattering. I really don't know what some people expect. The ML is a lovely ship and there is nothing wrong with it. It does show a bit of inevitable wear and tear but nothing that could possibly affect your enjoyment of the cruise. The ship is very clean with an efficient and friendly crew.
We had an Aqua class cabin which was well appointed, fairly spacious with lots of storage. It has a great shower with proper screens. Our stateroom attendant was friendly and efficient.
The ML is an extremely stable ship (or maybe we were lucky with the weather) and there was practically no rocking at all.
Great cabin. No noise at all. Well located to middle staircase and easy walk to back staircase.
