Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

If you are a vegetarian and are expecting vegetarian desserts, be prepared to be disappointed. We had to tell the chef multiple times to make vegetarian desserts and all we got was the same dessert every day. Do not expect variety like you see for desserts with eggs.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There are several onboard activities but expect all of them to have moderate to high wait times. We had to wait 30 min for rock climbing. Hot tubs and swimming pools were always overcrowded with children.
