We were disappointed in the lack of 'class' this cruise provided. "Free-style" shouldn't mean lacking in ANY style. Overall, it just appears that the ship is older and tired looking with a small shopping area and less than average tasting food. Only the specialty restaurants had flavor and good choices.
