If you like cruises in general, this review is not for you. We went on our first cruise to be able to visit three new countries while still having a toddler with us.

Husband, wife and 9 month old child. This ship is not meant for kids under 3 years old. (Almost) every singel day, we had to convince some of the staff in a restaurant to help us heat up the baby food. There is a play room, which is really a lounge that they put out a few toys in on the floor. It closes at 3 pm, some times at 4 pm. And there were small objects on the floor for the day before when the place is used as a bar/lounge. Not suitable for kids.

So over to the cruise in general. I've never been together with so many obese americans at one time. The average age was about 50 years. The ship is cheezy old, and in desperate need for an update. The food is average. The dinners give you a choice of things, and the staff will help you pick out things. Some days the food was really great here, but breakfast and lunch is always the same buffet. But at the end of the cruise they start to run out of things.

Cabin Review

Old, out of date. The TV was not a flat screen, which is strange in an already very small room. There is a "State room attendant" that will change towels and make your bed twice a day.
