Review summary

The cruise was just okay. It seemed like a good value at the time but there were so many additional charges for everything. It was not such a good value afterall.

The food was poor at best. Very much like a cheap all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. Not many healthy options at all. Fresh fruit and vegetables were scarce.
