The food in the MDR was hot, tasteful, and beautifully plated. The fried chicken was the best ever, tasteful and crunchy. The serving sizes were perfect. The service was courteous and timely. The prime rib was perfectly prepared to taste.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

While we rarely saw our room stewart, he always took care of our needs.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Decor seemed a bit dated. Ship appeared to be in good condition and well maintained. There seemed to be less staff than in the past. More suits than staff.
