Review summary

Not the best but overall we had a good trip. The food is the only thing that wasn’t up to par with our expectations. The ship was nice and the ports were great.

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Buffet was not good, AT ALL! Selection was poor and food lacked taste. The specialty restaurants were great but the hours they were open were terrible. They need to stay open at least through dinner hours. Overall I was not impressed!

RedFrog Pub

Cooking for 6000 people is not an easy task.
