I chose this cruise because of the ports visited. We were Concierge class and the room seemed small compared to other ships. Embarkation seemed smooth. The food was mediocre . The specialty restaurants were better however I think the price was a little high.($45 p. person) The service in the dining room was good and also the room steward was good. The refrigerator in our room did not work and we had meds that needed to be kept cold. They brought a portable refrigerator that did not work and they finally brought another that finally worked. (After a few days) The ship is OLD and I would not recommend it. Ports were good! We saw a lot and the people on the tenders were helpful. The ship is rusty and old. Balcony was okay and very private. We liked the overhang that kept us from the sun and being baked.
