I really didn't know what to expect on this cruise, as the reviews are all over the place, but we had an amazing time.

1. I know it's an older, smaller ship. However, since this was my kids' first cruise, they had nothing to compare it to.

I didn't really have any moments where I looked around the ship and had it feel shabby.
