I can't say enough about the crew. They worked hard, very friendly, to make our cruise enjoyable. Cruise director worked to keep,things hopping. That is the good side. Bad side is that this ship already needs an overhaul even since it was overhauled in 2013.

We ate in the rear dining room (YTD) and sat by the windows. OK, so some of the issues were minor (windows so dirty you had difficulty even seeing out them. But the more significant issues involved a complete lack of maintenance. The inside of the metal window frames were encrusted by mold and corrosion so severe that the frames literally had holes eaten through them. We could see down into the wall.

We watched the crew wash our balcony. However, the disposable cup top that was on our balcony when we arrived on board was still there when we disembarked. I went to use one of the public rest rooms on the Lobby deck. As I entered, one of the staff charged with cleaning the toilets was leaving, carrying cleaning materials. Inside, there was the little 'door sheets' all over the floor, and the toilet hasn't been touched (don't ask me how I know-use your imagination).

Average cabin, spa deck with spa amenities. Typical cabin but limited elevator access above deck 10. Good cabin service.
