Food was good in the MDR and the Ludo buffet. The food was fantastic at Il Viaggio.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Too much trivia. Not much else on Sea Days.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Playlist Productions were good. Epic Rock was fantastic. Comedians were very good, if you were willing to wait in line for 30 minutes to see them.

Staff was fantastic, even though they were greatly understaffed.
