Review summary

This was a nice cruise for the $$. We booked last minute and received a great deal.I would not pay more than $600 for this cruise if I had to book in advance. The shipboard activities were cheesy and not that interesting. There weren't any supportive services for infants age 7 months or babysitting and most of the excursions were not infant friendly. The buffet food was not that great, the only dining worth attending was main dining.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

There was entertainment every day and the times were good, two a night for both sets of diners. Quality, showmanship was lacking. The best acts on board were the late night adult comedy shows. the production shows were a step above a high school performance.

Children's Programs

NOthing for age groups 6months to 2 years. Very difficult to travel with a 7 month old.No babysitting services.
