VERY disappointing! I took my mother on this cruise as her 70th birthday present. She had never been on a cruise before. I wished I had checked out this cruise line and ship ahead of time because it is really lousy -- definitely NOT worth the price of the ticket. If you even go near the lounges and casino you are choked with cigarette smoke. The evening shows were pretty lame except for one comedian. The ship itself is a bit drab. It did not have the decor I had expected...and my bed.. Ugh! My pillows stank and one morning I woke to find the sheets pulled back revealing the mattress and it was covered in disgusting stains. It was more of a "booze cruise" than a luxury cruise. They sold these "helmets" of beer and other huge drinks which caused too many guests to over indulge and become belligerently drunk. We could not even enjoy a game of cards or read a book without some creep hooting-and-hollering or yelling obscenities. I was so embarrassed to have given this to my mother as her present. I apologized to her the entire week.
