Just got off a 5 day on GOS. Since I planned the cruise for my sister & her BFF, I was overly concerned about all the negative comments that I found her. Yes, the ship is small and old. However, we had the best time ever. The ship was clean & the customer service was great. We ate most of our meals in the MDR & found the food to be tasty. If you are a gambler, this is the ship to sail on!!! The casino was always packed and EVERYONE was winning. Sadly, the smoking might be a deal breaker for some. Keep an open mind when you go & enjoy this charming little ship before they are gone.
