Terrific! Must eat in the main dining room at least once a day, and the buffet is great for breakfast and lunch. Always something different to eat and the service can't be beat.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Well planned design. Love the walking on deck 7/8 which gets around the whole ship. Very clean and tidy.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I was able to fit my travel hammock into my cabin, after the second twin bed was removed. Always clean and well stocked.

Ship tip

Pack a travel room thermometer, and it will be easier to get the right temperature in your cabin
