Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food was terrible, worse than fast food. Very little variation to the menu in the Dining Room. Fish overcooked and tasteless. Steaks grizzly and fatty. Everyone very disapoiinted. Cafeteria was even worse.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
One great singer every night, dancers not professional at all. shows barely lasted 25 minutes.

Not much to see, very old fishing village.

Newport, Rhode Island

Did our own walking tour. Great city, walked all the way down Thames Avenue to shopping and Harbor Market. Get time.

Beautiful island. Went all the way from Charlottetown to the North Shore to a wonderful lunch at the PEI Preserve Company. Wonderful lobster lunch and gift shop.

Pros: Beautiful ship and very clean
