Sail Date: Jan 2014
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Traveled with children

Our cruise was the one just before the one making all the headlines for the Norovirus outbreak. Two of the days at sea were a little on the rough side.

Crew: The overwhelming majority of the crew members were happy and attentive, with a few edge case exceptions.

Facilities: Despite a renovation in 2009, the ship is showing its age. The giant tube TV in our tiny interior stateroom is a perfect example of this.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

Tiny interior cabin, but what else is new? This room has two fold-down cots. As of January 2014, it also has an old tube-tv instead of a flat panel, which will only make your room feel smaller.
