Review summary
The cabin was nice. The food was good. The service was very good.They have a 3:00 tea time that was nice. We have one main complaint The ship has no Mini golf,no climbing wall, only one upperdeck pool and limited lounge chairs. We were unable to go up on the upper deck and enjoy the daily sun. All lounges were full whenever we tried. They have a basketball court. can you see many seenior people (70-80) playing basketball all day. They lack activities to occupy the passengers during the day All but one lounge stayed open after 11:30 and it was for the younger passengers.We were not the only ones to express the same.we talked to others who said the same thing. We are not interested in sailing on that ship again.
