This ship needs to be retired and excursions are a joke

Do not book this ship! It is in desperate need for maintenance and refurbishment. I have been on 7 cruises in the past 10 years and this has been the worst.

Cabin, state of ship, and entertainment: The cabin looked and felt old and dirty. I imagine it is similar to staying at an old motel. Despite how hard the housekeeping staff may try, there is no fixing this at all. WORST PART: both my girlfriend and I woke up to the smell of engine fumes at night. We stayed at the front of the ship, 4th floor. The rest of the ship is not much better. Much of it is carpeted and looks old and worn.

In addition, this ship is TINY. There are three restaurants. 1 buffet, 1 formal dining room, and 1 premium restaurant you have to pay additional for. The entertainment each night was the same cast and band. The only thing saving this cruise from being a totally awful experience is the food, which was decent. Finally, one pool, one hot tub.
