Sail Date: Jan 2012
Cabin: Ocean View

We began our cruise with a 5 hr. delay to board due to fog in Galveston. While we were not thrilled at the delay, it is just one of those things that happen, and we knew it couldn't be helped. However, it seemed to be a portent of things to come.

First let me reassure everyone that the crew was terrific. They were friendly, courteous, helpful, and everything we could possibly want. They treated everyone I saw with equal warmth... every crew person I came in contact with in any way tried to predict and fulfill our needs and wants. Even the Captain was warm, friendly, and seemingly had all the time in the world to spend with each passenger he met.

We had been told the ship was "old." Well on our deck that was pretty obvious. Horrible odor in the forward starboard hall during the entire cruise, details ragged, etc. We had a handicapped cabin right at the front that accommodated both my hubby and I (and we are large people) and our walkers with room to spare. Bug the "temperature control" did not control...we froze if we weren't under the covers. Should have taken sweaters and wool slacks to wear in the cabin.

Cabin 6A

Handicapped room was large, had three closets for the two of us. Large bathroom by cruise ship standards. Somewhat noisy at times since we were at the very front of the ship. Awful odor in halls seemed to come out of employee access doors.
