I traveled on this cruise with my Mother, and my only hope was that it was better than the harsh reviews and as good as the positive reviews.
By far this was the best cruise I have been on. I really enjoyed the smaller ship, higher staff/guest ratio, and the itinerary. My mother still prefers the bigger ships but enjoyed the rest of the perks.
The food was excellent, portions were just right so you didn't get up from the table feeling like thanksgiving turkey. Buffets always had interesting selections and good quality.
Cabin 7043, close to elevators shares hallway with service area. No Noise! Lots of hangers and closet/drawer space.
