It's a relaxing, enjoyable ship. Not crowded at all, elevators always seem available and seats available in the Windjammer. During our cruise, there was no formal night in the MDR. The only concern we had, was a freezing cold AC system, which maintenance fixed in very short order. All the personnel were very nice and efficient. There were times in the day that food was not available, mainly, between breakfast and lunch for about an hour, then snacks were provided just prior to lunch, Also, a void in food from 5 PM to 6:30 unless you had early seating, which we did. There is no 24 hour hot dog, hamburger or pizza available other than regular dining times. Food selection was also pretty limited, but decent. Cabins (we had a suite) were of average cabin size with a smaller than usually shower. Entertainment opportunities are limited, with usually only one or two options available at any even time. No refrigerator in the rooms made ice a necessity. The ship, being small was wonderful to negotiate going from place to place. The ship never felt crowded at all and disembarking was great. All in all, very nice, small and enjoyable cruise. It is destined for cruises to Cuba in the never future.

Cabin Review

Cabin Jr. Suite

Average size cabin. Short on storage for 8 day cruise and shower is on the smallness size, even by cruise standards. Balconies are in limited supply, so we got a Jr. suite on deck 9.
