We were looking for a shorter cruise on a smaller ship and this ship and itinerary fit the bill.

We were not thrilled about the ports, but we just wanted a quick get away. Overall, the cruise was very good. Yes, the exterior of the ship is looking old, but the inside looked great. Nothing about the condition of the ship detracted from our experience. The highlight was the excellent food served in the Windjammer and My Fair Lady restaurant. We also were well served by Anthony and Malvino nightly at our table.
