Review summary

Ship was very nice but different. No promenade like Royal Caribbean. The martini ice bar was amazing. The coffee shop was $6.60 for a small coffee. The entertainment crew was making and cruise director Lewis was the best. People in the buffet area are amazing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
In the main dining room on the menu for starters was snails, french onion soup and shrimp cocktail everynight. Not very good choices of food. On the main dining choices was no shrimp dish or Italian. Food was delicious but limited choices. I asked the chef about the snails on the menu evernight he says it's a favorite what the people want. The buffet was good lots of choices.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Small room for a balcony room. Not enough draw space. Storage above bed is hard to reach.
