Review summary

Very good balance of ports and days at sea. Chops was a nice free perk for our booking. Pizza was great. Ding room breakfast was slow and cold but like variety at Windjammer. The late schedule is too late for us. Liked the traditional dine time and My time option. Really like the music groups Funk it up and Maryna. Good quality musicians are very important to the experience.
