Nice & relaxing, quiet cruise. Definitely recommend it to anyone who isn’t interested in an overload of activities or a circus atmosphere

No line, no waiting, in fact everyone was motioning us to move. Took about 5 to 10 minutes.

We have always found the food in the buffet, main dining room, and specialty restaurants to be superb.

Very good. I had seafood every day. But lots to choose from
