Choose this cruise for the ports of call. Houston was not the best port and I believe they are no longer going to use it. We came in early due to the weather. Embarkation went smoothly as did disembarkation. Though the ship was showing a bit of its age it was clean and well cared for. Our cabin seemed a bit small but very functional and ( you really got to love the Love Boat series, that played all the time). Dinning for the most part was absolutely fantastic except when I ordered one of the chef inspired meals (maybe he was having a bad day) The steakhouse was one of the best I had ever tasted. The staff was outstanding catering to our every wish. Drinks were on the high side so we had very few. The Entertainment did not meet up to the rest of the cruise but was not bad. The ports of call were enjoyable.
