Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The food was good and the buffet choices was much better this time. They had fried shrimp and steak one night and it was amazing.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Serenity deck was suppose to be relaxing but there was no way to relax when you have to get offered a drink every 5- 10 minutes. I just went back to my stateroom.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
It was kinda boring in that area to say the least. It was just okay. Jacky is okay but not very present as Kyndall. I felt like he was just the announcement clerk. I never saw him out and about other than scheduled times. Not a fan at all.

No kids

Ship tip

Do go with high expectations of the overall experience. We had a great time in March and expected the same but it was just okay. The ports were very nice just the on ship experience was different. We didn’t like the food enough to pay for the second round to go there so we just went to the buffet otherwise the featured restoloke Chibang was not all that and the Italian restaurant was worse than that one so we didn’t like those two at all. To pay $8.00 per person to go back was simply not happening. So to the Lido Marketplace Buffet we went.
