Itinerary: Caribbean
For a cheap cruise, this one is not bad. Remember, you get what you pay for.
The ship is older and quite outdated. The ship is huge and there are plenty of public rooms - lots of quiet space! The Schooner Bar is ok for pre/after dinner drinks. Ain't Misbehaving lounge is ok. Pool areas need a make over. Ugly, rusted deck chairs/tacky indoor/outdoor turf carpeting.
Food - not good. Service ok. I understand that the food is prepared for 2000+ but it could have been much better. Constantly felt rushed at dinner. Windjammer had the best food (at dinner) and was a great alternative to the main dining room.
Very small - but "you are never in the anyway!" Very quiet and very dark (great for when you are hung over)

There were about 800 ford master mechanics on this cruise which made it feel "white trashy." Nice people, but not a group I would normally socialize with.
