Review summary

I enjoyed my time. It was clean and decorated. The staff were very friendly. The specialty restaurants were too expensive but the buffet was adequate. I would have liked more opportunities to dance and sing on the ship. 5 days is more than enough time for a cruise before the activities get repetitive.

The buffet was good with plenty of options. Open frequently enough to avoid crowds. Great views while you eat. The specialty restaurants were not so special and service a little slow.

The drop off location was terrible. It wasn’t near shops or foods. I would have preferred an excursion for this location. Money exchange places were closed or far.
