After reading other reviews I have to share our experience. We had a blast! The ship was nice, yes some wear and tear but that is to be expected, it has been around a long time. We never smelled any sewer smell like I have read in previous posts, and the water tasted fine. It has been updated with great additions, water slides, Guys burger joint, lots of activities and a great fun squad with the most fun cruise director (yeah Donkey!)we have had in 14 other cruises.

Was it perfect? Of course not. There are not enough deck chairs and if you wanted one on a sea day you had to be in it by 8 AM and not leave it unless you wanted your stuff taken and given to the towel station. Also the food could use some help, not a lot of gluten free choices even in the dining room. And wait service gets interrupted when on time dining people are sat with nightly diners and the wait staff have to start serving people all over again. Also there were a lot of unattended children running around wrecking havoc making messes banging on cabin doors, yelling down the halls at 1 AM, hanging out in stairways etc and nobody on the ship seemed to notice which was aggravating.

But we had beautiful weather, beautiful ports. lots of activities and a really fun time! Your vacation is what you make of it, you can't expect perfection and need to just make the best of things.
