Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. The rest of the cruise was not enjoyable at all. Our cabin was kept clean by our two cabin attendants, but the bathroom had a terrible smell all the time the bathroom sink had a big crack in it. Food was no better then a takeaway eatery and the same thing over and over. Beef was cut on the cross which made it tough and vegetables was raw at times. One night there was roast pork and was dripping with blood. As for Entertainment, needs to improve and more of it. Most entertainment needs to be held in a bigger area as a lot could not participate due to no sitting.

Maintenance was being down almost daily on deck 6, the deck was closed of and the noise was dealing from the banging and grinding. The the painting it reek. We were on a Cruises and paid our money for enjoyment not to see, hear and smell maintenance. I know smoking is frowned on so smoking was on deck 6 where the smoking area is and couldn't mix with passengers in a bar area like we did on other ships plus no chairs on deck 6. It also made it hard for older persons and assisted persons.

The ship broke down at sea and was adrift for many hours. This meant we where very late into our next port and tours where cancelled another disappointment. Service was average.
