Disliked: Amenities
Had a flat tire in gravel parking lot due to screw from facility’s stairs, fortunately a maintenance staff member was very helpful in repairing but front desk was not very receptive. The pool was closed for half stay, cruise was only on weekends, so two of the reasons for selection were lost. Room tvs were terrible and wifi was spotty at best.
