Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

Our wait staff, Magdiel and Alejandra were excellent. Alejandra has about the biggest smile I’ve ever seen! They both greeted us with questions about our day and remembered our water preference. I requested an extra cushion for my chair on the first night and it was always there every other night.The food was very good to excellent. The choices did begin to repeat as this was a 12 night cruise.

Martini Bar

5 out of 5

Great martinis and service with a “show”. The bartenders tossed bottles and shakers, poured multiple drinks at a time and balanced glasses on their foreheads and arms. Kadek, Igede and the rest were wonderful.

Murano Restaurant

We went here on Christmas Eve for a special meal. The food and service were excellent as always.

Wanted to love this island. While it’s beautiful, the roads were the worst we saw. They need to put some more time, money and energy into their tourism.

Love the facial recognition! From when we got in line to leave to when we got in line for our taxi only took 15 minutes. Had to wait as long for the taxi!
