Wonderful experience. Boat was very crowded, lines for food long. Buffet should always be open. Ship was clean and organized.

Thanks for the review! While a 24 hour buffet would be nice, it’s just not feasible. Hours were shortened to help prevent waste and no doubt for cost containment initiatives. Shorter buffet hours are the norm on most lines from what I read. I hope your next cruise is better. 🛳️🏝️
