This was a Thanksgiving cruise which we took because it was also my birthday. The ship is old but in good shape & very clean. But that's where it ends. The food was hit or miss, but thank God, we had good tablemates. We always take any time dining because we get to sit with a variety of people & get to know some of our shipmates. Embarkation was quick & then we proceeded to the buffet. They were totally unprepared for lunch. There was not a good variety of foods & many stations ran out of food which was not replenished in reasonable time because they were not ready. No carving station, no tomatoes for salad, lettuce bowl empty, etc. Even during the cruise, the buffet improved somewhat but was far from outstanding.

Our cabin was Obstructed ocean view but the obstruction was minimal & we had a good view. Our cabin steward was very good & we always had enough clean towels, ice, etc. The cabin was also cleaned in a timely manner. The bed was very comfortable due to a new mattress, according to our cabin steward. I'm told that the ship will be in for a complete facelift in 3/2016.

The entertainment left a lot to be desired , especially in the piazza where it was very boring.
