Itinerary: Nowhere

Overview
For a one night cruise it was fair, I wouldn't go any longer on this ship. Small cabin even with balcony. Check in was not really organized.

Very upset with life boat drill. Everyone was lined up and the crew was cleaning the life boats over everyone's heads dripping cleaning stuff on them. Life vest are starting to get near the 10 year expiration dates, within 6 months of that time. After the drill vest were left all around the deck and pool area no one picked them up to much later. And there were at least 3 people that I personally know that were in the pool for drill. So much for accountability. I noticed vest with loose threads and generally less than good condition. They seemed to allow to much talk and carrying on. People coming very late not wearing there vests. People were still boarding while the drill was on so how much did they learn or be accounted for

Public Areas
Generally the ship was clean but the pool deck was a pig sty. On other cruises people were around to pickup. After most people went to dinner there were beer bottles and glasses rolling around the deck, garbage in the pool, and the trash cans were over flowing. And trash in general around the deck I found it strange that they served beer in glass bottles and used china plates in the pool area. Casino was average, nothing special

Food and Service
Liked the main dining room but food was awfully skimpy for a cruise. Our waiter was not the best, not rude but not sociable either. Had to wait a real long time for coffee and dessert. Coffee was cold and tasted terrible took even longer for dessert to arrive. We ate our other meals at buffet. Not too much variety for a cruise ship was ok nothing to brag about.

Cabins
Very small couldn't sleep, bad vibration that made noise. In a lot of cabins to noisy in the halls late at night and from other cabins. Shower was a little tight as was the toilet area.

Entertainment
