Food was ok. The buffet seemed to have the same choices every day but it was good. We went to Hola twice. Great Mexican food. If you like tamales they have really good ones.

It's a beautiful place but the same thing goes for shopping. We had a guy try to convince me he worked on the ship and was off visiting family there to get us to go in a store. MSC isn't allowing there crew off. I called him out on it.
