This is a small, old ship--so don't expect a lot of bells and whistles. It is perfect for a relaxing getaway however. Main dining room is a long wait before you get your meal so plan for at least an hour and thirty minutes to dine each night. Unless you go to the Windjammer, which has very good food. Breakfast should definitely be at the Windjammer--the Main Dining Room service was incredibly slow.

The internet service was slow to none and grossly overpriced. Next time I will not purchase the VOOM Surf & Stream package--I will just relax and let the cyber world do without me for a week. The entertainment was pretty good 2 of the 5 nights.

Make sure you understand the luggage rules for the night before departure. If you have a shore excursion or have your own personal transportation to the airport on your day of departure, do not put tags on your luggage and do NOT put them out in the hallway the night before. Just carry them along with you the morning of departure--believe me, you will be glad you did.

Cabin Review

Cabin Jr Suite

The cabin is small, as expected, but ample room to move around. The mattresses were very comfortable and I was able to fall asleep quickly each night waking up the next morning before sun up feeling rested and renewed. The balcony is very nice and well worth the extra cost. Our attendant was professional, friendly, and attentive regarding our comfort for the entire cruise.
