My wife and I have just recently returned from a 11 night cruise on the aria of the south pacific islands, We have cruised before but will not cruise on the aria again.The good parts of the cruise were the beds very comfy,the shows of a night were great the workers on board very polite and do anything for you and the coffee and beer were good. now for the bad. The cabins were small just get my mobility walker through the door, then horror set in when I opened the bathroom door a shower over a high bath, I could not believe it as I had looked up the cabin on out travel agents internet brochure and it said shower only, some people can not get over the bath, I know one woman that had to go to the gym for a shower. Then we went for lunch in the pantry it was only clean for a day the rest of the time you struggled to get seating and sometimes the seating you got was as if you were eating off the floor in a chinese restaurant, as for some of the younger passengers they were out right rude and had no respect for other people. most people took the lifts that's is their right but the lifts were to small and some times you would have to wait a couple of lifts to be able to fit in. It all seems like penny pinching every thing on the cheap, the carpets are a trip hazard I could go on and on , so what I want to say if you are looking to go cruising STAY AWAY FROM THE ARIA
