The ship and private island are beautiful. Food was hit and miss and service tried hard just stretched too thin.

May as well show up late, cause all you are avoiding is long hot wait outside.

Breads, pastries, house wines, pasta and pizza were all very good. Steak and service in Steakhouse excellent. Main dining was super slow service 2.5 -3 hours to eat. Main dining meals were hit and miss.

Staff was super nice and doing their best, just not enough of them. Bar waits were long! Lost luggage that didn't arrive till day 2.

Rented a cabana (worth it) and island is beautiful! If food was better and at least 1 attendant coming buy to service cabana every now and then, then I would have made it 5 stars.
