Review summary

I think the food could be handled a little better. The market place buffet had many trays of hot and cold food, but some looked as if were standing and somewhat over cooked. Picked over too. Dining experience was fairly good with some really great food, and others just medium. A couple of times I ordered breakfast that was only luke warm

Ship tip

Be aware of the crowds at times during lunch time. We would often go around 1pm to find better seating and less crowd traffic.

Youre stuck in a particular area that is fenced in, unless you embark on a tour. The swimming area is beautiful, but the rocks along the shore will kill you. It was very hard to get out into the water. The main part of the beach is open for the ships guests, but its very crowded and many of the chairs were not in good shape. Seems like you have to get there early to find the best place.

The Blue Eco water swimming area was great , but the tour that this included was not the best. We were CRAMMED into a small bus and had over an hour ride each way to the park.

Excursion was nice to explore the town from a bus. It also included a cave visit, but again it was very crowded inside the cave and even going up the stairs to the entrance to the cave. Many many people.
