Sail Date: Sep 2018

The ship is old but it’s been done up to have modern features, however the cabin my boyfriend and I were staying in was located above the engine so when we were docking at both ports we were unpleasantly woken by the engine noise at 5.30/6am.

The entertainment was awful, apart from the comedian which we were charged an extra $9 to see - even he was joking about how ‘crappy’ this ship is.

We were unable to sit on the top deck without being constantly harassed to buy an $80 drink package. Eventually, after seeing that an 18% service charge is added to each drink, we gave in and decided to get the drinks package as it seemed better value. However we misunderstood the deal and it turned out we would get a lot less for our money than it seemed so my boyfriend asked for a refund which they finally unwillingly gave us. There’s nothing to do on the ship and the day we got to the Bahamas there was a tropic storm so we only spent 20 minutes exploring before having to seek shelter in a shop for the remainder of the day. The food is ok but only one of the restaurants is free to eat at and so it was overcrowded and lacked good service.
