Ports interesting however the shopping is pushed more than the history and sites. Food was marginal at best and entertainment gets C- . Shows are poorly timed with dinner settings.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food is not good in seated dining rooms. The buffet offers a few good items but most are pretty bland. Desserts were down right terrible. We bought drink package but still had to pay up charge for the nicer wines and artisan cocktails .

Ship halls had a bad smell and the ship is pretty basic. Nothing amazing about the interior at all the solarium omega pool deck is really wasted space and pool area way too small
