Review summary

For a quick getaway it was alright, but things can be improved. This ship needs more outlets for the number of passengers on it. The Lido buffet is too small.

Unless you take a tour, there's not a lot there to see. Food is amazing though.

Those short cruises are not very good. Move to 7 days or longer and it will be a much more pleasurable experience.
