Review summary

The cruise was great. The meat at the Pollo Grill could use some aging or better cuts. It was too tough. A little more variety at the regular eating places. If you are there for more than a week, you get the same menus. Entertainment was fabulous. The Italian tenor was spectacular and Samantha Ivey was so good. Enjoyed the dancers/ singers. Great talent. Comedian was very good.
