Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The servers were very good and attentive. We ate in the any time dining room each evening. The food was okay but only lukewarm. Many dishes were tasteless, no seasoning.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Only 1 swimming pool so it was crowded. The Serenity adult area was nice but only had hot tubs.
