The first 2 days were very boring. Shows were OK, but not outstanding. Buffet was glorified Golden Corral. Bed was HARD. However the service and staff were impeccable, and excursions were outstanding.

Food snobs should choose premium cruise lines instead of mass market lines. Mass market food is for the masses and food snobs are consistently critical. If the bed is too hard for you, ask your stateroom attendant for a mattress topper.

Thanks for the review. Banquet / buffet quality food is about the best you can expect in the non-specialty restaurants when they are feeding thousands of people 3 meals a day.
