Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The evening sitdown meals were excellent. The buffets were just a bit crowded at lunchtime.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I liked the movies playing on the regular television in the room. Bingo was fun. I lost in the casino, but had fun. The newsletter was a good source of information for defining all the days' activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I did not have a bad experience with any of the crew members. Everyone I came in contact with was pleasant and very helpful and cheery!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We were on deck 8. Perfectly located for all we needed. Three of use shared a balacony and were impressed with how easy it was to get around the ship.

We visited the Trafajar Falls and walked through the rainforest. It was awesome. We spent 6 hours touring the island. Everything we saw was plush and beautiful.
