Review summary

WE HAD A PARTY OF 8 IN OUR FAMILY RANGING FROM 25 TO 75 YEARS OLD. WE FOUND THE SHIP ACTIVITIES TO CATER MAINLY TO THE OVER 60 SET. NOT MUCH TO DO FOR YOUNGER CRUISERS ESPECIALLY UNDER 30.ALTHOUGH THE SHIP WAS NICE THERE WASN"T MUCH EXTRAVEGANCE,LIKE BEAUTIFUL ICE SCULPTURES, MAGNIFICENT CARVINGS AT ALL BUFFETS,AND NO GRAND MIDNIGHT BUFFET LIKE ON OTHER SHIPS WE HAVE SAILED ON.. WE DO NOT RECCOMMEND SABITINIS ONE OF THE SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS.THE FOOD WAS SO-SO AND YOU ARE SERVED EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IN TINY BITE SIZE PORTIONS THAT TAKES HOURS. BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE NEXT MORSEL YOU ARE STARVING AGAIN.OTHERWISE THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT THE SHIP.THE THEATER UNDER THE STARS WAS NICE AND THE ART SELECTION AT THE AUCTIONS WAS EXCELLENT.ALL IN ALL WE HAD A GOOD TIME , THE STAFF WAS VERY GOOD AND THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS ENJOYABLE.
