She has old style grace and a grand theme. Lots of panoramic views, glass elevators, awesome atrium, and tons of lounge chairs. * one thing the new ship lack is comfortable seats and windows throughout the ship. This older ship has BOTH - windows EVERYWHERE and sofas, chairs, tables, booths too !! * negatives itโ€™s older. Cabins are wood and darker colors and small showers that are old. Casino is crowded and smoky too. Question : Would we cruise on it again. Yes 100% for a 3-4 day cruise.
