Review summary

A big beautyfull ship with fantastic food and lots of it.Three meals a day with a very good menu in all the eight restaurants.No need to go in the speciality restaurants as more than good enough in all of them with superb waiters in them all.Entertainment although adequat was not a lot to shout out about.The bumper cars was available during meal times so do the bumper cars or miss your evening meal-The biggest memory we have is that myself and my partner tested positive for Covid19 when we got home

Ship tip

Bring plenty of money espectally if you like an alcholic drink as all very expensiveat 40$ a bottle of wine with your dinner or 9$ for a glass or for a small bottle of beer.Dont try to do it on a budget .Copious amounts of fruit drink free of charge including tea and coffee
