Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I have dietery restrictions, the chef in the buffet bent over backwards to accomadate me. I would have apperciated a few nutsw and seeds now and then. You lable sugar free, lable gluten free and I would apperciate it

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I didn't like the crafts, too elementery, would have been nice to have a little more advanced options.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5

the fort was just another fort and we don't shop anymore. The tours were way to expensive, how can another company do it for a fourth the cost?
