Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Dining experience was delicious but the waiters made the evening dining superb! Our waiters were excellent, friendly, courteous, and most accommodating - Kadek and Rusdam!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The piano bar, a few games, and one of the theater shows. I did not enjoy the country musicians at all.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

They were okay some definitely better than others. Comedians were funny, Gilbert the musician excellent. I think the DJs appeal to the very young not really my age.

Service and Staff

Waiters - Rusdam and Kadek - excellent!!!!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

It was okay however one of the bunks was not latched securely so it was a bit worrisome. The shower drain was very slow and we had to wipe up water a lot on the floor because it overflowed.
