Small but adequate.

Ship tip

Ship is older and a little out of date; but still nice. The Aqua dining room is not worth the extra fee,the regular dining package is more than adequate. Do not buy drink packages before getting on ship. All kind of deals on ship,and both parties do not need to partake.

Our cruise out of Singapore came with drinks deal included as a bonus. I agree about dining rooms on millennium class- depressing, dark,dated. We ring the changes by booking other restaurants and if you book another night at time of your visit they will always do a rate reduction.

Just read this review. We sail in 6 weeks, so thinking about what Drink plan to buy and when to buy it. What where the onboard savings that you mentioned in the Ship Tip?

I would love those ports. You need to always take an excursion. Best way to appreciate where you visit.
