Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food was very poor, being a vegetarian the choices were very bad. In fact after eating same food for few days, got stomach virus. Even the buffet service was very poor.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Only one pool and was extremely crowded. PingPong and chess was same too.

Entertainment
