Embarkation and disembarkation were excellent. We knew ship was older so our expectations were not high. Overall, we had fun.....hey we were on vacation.

In the dining room, steak was dry..not good. Grilled Salmon with capers was excellent! Buffet was very limited with mediocre food. The breakfast buffet was very good, but lunch and dinner buffet.....no thanks! Mediocre everything.

Freestyle? We were all offended at one time or another. Their dining reviews say to dress however you want. My husband did this. He wore shorts and a sleeveless shirt. We were told the "ladies" could be seated but he could not. That wouldn't have been a problem if we knew those rules. However, they really push the "freestyle" dining...."dress how you want whenever you want". Secondly, I was in the giftstore looking at some earrings. I held up the box to see how they would dangle,sparkle, get a better view. The insert dropped. I quickly picked them up....no harm. A worker said,"what are you destroying, don't destroy the merchandise". My reply was, "Ya think"? Thirdly, I was taking my 15 year old daughter on this cruise for a break from school. They denied her access to use the steam room. She said they told her she had to be 16. I told her i think she has to be 16 or with an adult. So, when I went to use it with her, the lady said, "I already told her she had to be 18 to use this". I told her that she thought she said 16 and that I thought she could use it with an adult. NOPE! Mind you, the steam room and sauna was not busy at anytime on this cruise. I was very irritated at this point. I wanted to enjoy spa time with my daughter.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Balcony for 3 people. Impossible to get to balcony when tiny couch is open for bedding. Bathroom ok but toilet seats are very old and dingy and scratched up.

No lotions, soaps, etc. As always, the fridge was full of their bar stuff.

T.V. was full of their advertisements on at least 4 channels. T.V. was a tiny old old t.v..not even 19 inches.

They need new pillows (ripped, dust mite infested as my allergies acted up horribly), bed was fine, slept fine beside the pillows.
