Review summary

It was a fun family trip. Everyone had fun, but the food quality was not as good as I remember it. There needs to be more time on the islands, the time was too short.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The staff were pleasant. The quality of the food that was not as good as the last time we cruised. The ingredients seemed of very low quality. The drinks were fantastic. It would have been nice to have some healthier alternatives in the buffet (more salad and veggies that aren't soaked in mayonaisse). More meat selection would have also been nice. The dining room food was not good, we tried 2 meals and decided not to go there again for the rest of the trip for dinner. The meat was rubbery. We did have breakfast, which was much better than dinner. The sushi was good, the burgers were good and the buffet was Ok. The deli was not good and the pizza was ok.
