Fair value for the dollar since this cruise was discounted significantly. Not five star but worth the money ($1500 for two with tips/insurance included).

Ship is going to be refurbished in 2011 so will be out of commission for 3 weeks. While it's a little tired, it's certainly not bad for the money.

Cabin: small enough so you couldn't pass each other at the end of the bed. Balcony was smaller than on previous ships so we didn't use it as much as we thought we would. We went up on deck for sail-aways instead. I wouldn't bother paying for the balcony cabin on this ship - a window view would have worked just as well. When we booked, they were the same price but I wouldn't pay extra. Service by our room steward was fabulous. Room is ok. They could make better use of the space with some upper cabinets and different lighting which they will probably do when refurbished. AC worked but I would have liked it a little cooler. The sheets were worn in places with a few small holes. Read more
