Chose due to itinerary and length of trip. Ship is pretty outdated and has lots of creaks and banging noises when moving. Bed was hard as a rock, lumpy and tilted toward the head, pillows are no better. Bathroom was TINY. Shower about the size of a round outdoor trashcan lid.(not exaggerating on that size either!!) Aft Balcony was OK but all the trash from the deck above was always blowing down on us. They served several of the same foods on the buffet every meal of every day and none of it was very good. Drinks were included in price but VERY weak...even the premium drinks that you have to purchase. Not much going on during the day on the boat, other cruise lines offer more fun things to do. Couldn't make the last port of call due to winds and the fact that all passengers had to tender to the island. Port stops were nice and there were plenty of places for smokers like my husband and I to smoke. (All of deck 6), one area around the pool deck 11 mid, the Casino when it was open and you are playing, and aft deck 12 just above the Aft bar.
Read somewhere that Jack Daniels was included in the all inclusive drinks....it is NOT. Jack Daniels Honey is, but not Jack Black Label.
