Food and Dining

Had the Easy Drinks package which suited up. Took a while to acclimatise to the food in the MDR but we eventually got to like it. Our dining room server Ronald looked after us exceptionally well. Buffer food was ok. Can get crazy busy at times.

Overall found it a bit claustrophobic but very clean and tidy.

Cabin / Stateroom

There were 3 adults and a 2 year old baby sharing the one room. A bit cramped but we managed ok.

Ship tip

If you want a quiet drink go into the Spa Area there is a lovely quiet bar there. They only do fruit drinks (non alcoholic) but you can bring in drink from outside.
