Ship experiences

Food and Dining

clean, great size, plenty of storage

Entertainment

1 out of 5
many of the night shows were great but the schduling and lack of activities throughout the day was less than other ships i've been on.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
i felt the staff was great except for the cruise director staff. Room steward and waiters were great. the waiters i felt were a little over worked though, they had too many tables to take care of. other than that everyone was very friendly
