This cruise ship doesnβt get hyped anymore, and most people would scroll right past it when booking a cruise. So I spent four days onboard to see what actually holds up, what feels dated, and whether this class of ship still makes sense today.
No nostalgia tour, no sugarcoating. Just real impressions after living on it four days and seeing how it actually works once the crowds, food, shows, and sea days play out.
