Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Our expectations of cruise food were left at port when the ship sailed. Almost all of the entrees were too salty. Some dishes simply had no character such as the pizza and steak. We were really disappointed with the food, but there was no chance of starving. We always found something to double up on to make up for the bad dishes.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We attended every show, and they were very well presented and entertaining. There were also various locations where there was a solo or duet performing live music. They were all very good and we enjoyed those as well.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The entire crew and staff were very polite, engaging, and accommodating. There were three employees worth mentioning because we felt they went over the top. Simphiwe Khuzwayo, and Budi Heriyanto were our servers for dinner every night. They constantly and consistently provided excellent service. From the drinks to the food, they never left us waiting and they were especially attentive. Alfredo Ferreras Jr. These three individuals
