Everything was so organized. All was smooth!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was good in the buffet but less choices compared to preCovid times. Our waiters in the early dining Washington dining room were excellent. That would be Tovik, Ryan and Argel. Food was very good, especially the chocolate dessert. The breakfast buffet omlette maker was excellent. Can’t remember his name…

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Evening shows in Ivanhoe were okay, but just staff from the cruise ship. PreCovid had more variety and entertainers. I used the jogging track everyday.
