Mechanical Problems
June
Pros: Dedicated staff, great itinerary
Cons: Older ship that had mechanical problems during cruise
Recommended: No
We lost two days of our planned itinerary, including evening entertainment because the ship had to go back to port for mechanical repairs. We would recommend this cruise but not this ship.

South & Golden Isles Cruise
March
Pros: Good food, good Port selections
Cons: Staffing shortage
Recommended: Yes
Even though there appeared to be a staffing shortage, the crew worked their tails off to keep the travelers happy. The ship was small and we were able to meet many of the people on board. We also enjoyed the ports and food service. We enjoyed the evening entertainment along with the historical aspects of the cruise
