Read reviews of this ship and wasn't impressed. When I got inboard I figured oh no, looks dated and tired and then started getting into the ambiance, the ports and the staff all beyond my expectations. The dining rooms were cosy and warm and intimate. The room, though dated had great features such as lots of closet space and good bathroom and shower, good mirrors, comfortable bed with nice ocean view porthole of a good size. The entertainment staff is incomparable with the greatest shows, all different and fun. The staff make every interactive game and dance activity the most fun as they are all a gas! The guest services group bent over 200% to please! What a staff. Oh wait, the Captain, I've never felt safer in my life. He avoided a storm and made 13 ft seas seem like a skating rink, that smooth.needless to say, I loved this cruise.

By the way, don't worry about gaining weight, the food is mediocre at best but geez, with ports like singapore, Bangkok, Vietnam and Hong Kong, who cares about stuffing ones face. It was fascinating, exciting and alluring all at the same time!
