Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food was terrible, the italian restaurant on deck 8 was the worse. Chibang was not bad, most of the food upset my stomach. I was in a party of 17 and pretty much all of us experienced the same. The pizza on deck 8 was about the only place that was decent. The fruity drinks lacked alcohol and were overpriced.

Great, no issues.

Ship tip

Bring your own meds or over the counter items, as the ship lacks any of that. Its too long of a cruise to not have anything available for passengers.

While they are expensive I'm sure, ship does have otc meds available. Where they sell liquor on deck 8 it's behind the counter. But money wise it's always best to pack your own
