Great value for money . High energy cruise staff late into the night . Lots of dancing in the Main Street at night . Very relaxed dress code. Not necessary to dress up if not needed.

A little slow as there was a large travel group that were asked to come forward and they arrived after us.. once in the line it was quite quick

Really enjoy the EASY drinks package. Loved the MDR food. Had lots of options we liked. Didn’t use the buffet much as had lunch in MDR most days . The pizza at bedtime was lovely
