It's a great value for the price. We'd been to all of the ports several times. We were already in Florida, so it worked for us. The ship shows it's age and is scheduled to be updated. Some renovations were going on while we were on board. We noticed the walls were not as sound proof as most of the other ships we've sailed on. Without much thought we booked on deck 7 and the theater was overhead. We could hear every time they cranked up the music. The staff was very courteous. We haven't always experienced that. Embarkation and disembarkation was easy because we were the only ship in the port. Some advice to anyone new to cruising, if you plan to see the island, you won't see any more than flea market style shopping unless you take a tour or a taxi. The same goes for beaches. They are not within walking distance.
