Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The only complaint is with the red meat selection on the Ledo and Main Dining Room, all the red meat options was really awful. The Prime Rib, Briskets, Skirt Steak, NY steak, Beef Wellington ect... were all of poor quality. The pastas were good and the desert were very good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not much going on probably due to the average age was probably 75. Not complaining gave more time to relax for the 16 nights.

Service and Staff

Ship tip

If you're going on a cruise for a particular destination and another Cruise Line is available, I would book the other cruise line. Not impressed on any of their Prime rib, Beef Wellington, NY Steak, Brisket, Pan Fried Steak, Skirt Steak, ect ... on any of the 16th nights.

Very nice city, you can see so much just walking the boardwalks.

Nanortalik, Greenland
