I chose this cruise for cost and destination. The dining staff was very professional and enjoyable. My cabin steward was excellent in the service he provided. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to get into the pool. It is small and always crowded. Most of the other cruisers were pleasant and respectful not like the people on the European ship in the same port, which I cruised on a few months ago. I am considering a Fall cruise when the children are back in school. I enjoyed three of the four shows I viewed. I was told I missed the best show, I overslept and did not want to be late for dinner. The brunch buffets on the sea days was excellent. The waiter actually gave me an extra cocktail. The downside was the size one the shower. It is super small. I dropped my soap twice and had to step out of the shower to pick it up. Also I had only cool showers for a few days because there was no pressure in the hot water pipes. Stupid me for not complaining sooner. My cabin steward had it fixed that same evening before I returned to the cabin. The disembarking was delayed because certain passengers had to be cleared before anyone could get off, and I was the second person in line, what a downer. The ship is small and old but 90% of my experience was enjoyable.
