DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went right after the Big Multi-Million Dollar Referbishment. It was a JOKE! Where do I begin. It was probably fall 97, the ship is too big and deep to get into the ports so you must take a tender ship to the islands. Well, the seas were high and we never were able to get off the ship at the first port because the harbor master would not let the tender ship come out! Then since no one could get off the ship the captain decided to give out free rum punch, yea, get everybody drunk and they won't remember they couldn't get off the ship & missed the first island. But they wouldn't give anything else free to people who don't drink alcohol. At St. Thomas, the last island they figured they better let people off the ship so they sent the tenders out and 5 people go injured during the tendering. Enough said. <BR>Next, the service and food were average. <BR>We paid for an upper price range cabin and got a closet. The mattress was lumpy and worn out, there was no chair or table in the room, the shower curtain was torn on the bottom and ragged, the plumbing leaked. And to top it off the last night we smelled natural gas in our cabin so we called the steward who got his boss and NO ONE on that ship knew what we were talking about. <BR>We went the next day to the purser and told them of our dissatisfaction and they said oh,well. We wrote letters to the home office and were ignored. They had our money and they did not care if we were pleased or not. <BR>Since that experience we have been on Celebrity Cruises twice and highly recommend them. We are not the partying type and we enjoy the peace and quiet of these ships and it is an exellent value for the average person, wonderful food and service. You can get a much nicer cruise vacation for the same money that you would pay for the Norway. Keep searching. Thank you.
