Slow relaxing pace, wonderful staff, average food, great price, and the rooms are huge, The first day on was... well they more than made up for it on the rest of our days on board. The staff is all american and go out of there way to make you happy.

The whole barge seems to be one big public area, two bars,2 hot tubs , huge walking track, small library and game room, nice size theater with outstanding local entertainment. most of the places we went to had a casino. but none on the barge. all the public areas are clean,and you can always find a quiet spot to read a book

Food is buffet style for breakfast and lunch. dinner is ala cart all meals are fair but plenty. service was outstanding our server Dennis had the warmest smile and genuine personality. My wife and I were in town and actually saw Dennis in a shop. Mind you this was his time off, demanded to carry my wife's (heavy must haves) back to the boat and on to our cabin. Later that night at dinner I tried to give him some money , with a warm smile he declined the offer and said "don't be silly,we were going to the same place"

Over 240 sq. ft. nice and roomy with a great deck

All the shows were good

Small work out room lots of recliners to sun bath, Dorthy our bartender was sweet and accommodating.

Older folks who just want to relax and be comfortable.
