Breakfasts were terrible, both lunch and dinners were only fair. Drinks was good. Two decent dinners in the dining room the entire cruise.

Onboard Activities

Boring and certainly not entertaining.......Cancelled two ports and certainly not enough going on on-board with all the extra days at sea.

Entertainment
