I chose this cruise because it was affordable and it fit my week of scheduled vacation. Almost everything was as I expected it to be based on my last cruise. This ship had the exact same lay out as the last cruise so it was very easy to navigate this ship. Embarkation and debarkation went extremely smoothly, however I was able to take an Uber to the cruise terminal but they refused to let Uber pick me up forcing me to take the over priced airport shuttle so I could catch my flight home. As far as the ship it is older and the rooms show it. The rooms have extremely outdated décor. The beds are extremely firm and uncomfortable so if you are able to ask for a foam mattress topper. The food was spectacular, some of the best food I have ever eaten. All of the staff was extremely friendly and very attentive. I did not go to any of the shows on the ship but I did visit the spa. I would not recommend the acupuncture. It did not do what I was lead to believe it was going to do, nor would I recommend the teeth whitening because the results have already gone away. The bamboo massage, though, is extremely worth the money
