Review summary

We picked this cruise for my 70th and to escape our cold Canadian weather. Fortunately we missed the coldest days of the winter. We loved the ship, met some wonderful people. I don’t see us sailing on her again due to the lack of activities, especially on sea days. I have heard the same complaint from other cruisers.

The food in the Lido buffet was the best we have ever experienced

Lido Market

5 out of 5

This is the best food we have ever had at a buffet. You were served ...much more hygienic. Great salad bar. Wide choice of food overall. Best ever bread pudding😋😋

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
This is where they fall short! We love our trivia and other shipboard games. Not enough to do and not enough staff to run things.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Some shows were ok but the theatre called the World Stage only held 350 people. Not enough seats.
