Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was A1 and the service was excellent. After the first day the waiter knew that I like cappuchino after dinner and I never had to order it. He brought it himself.

Entertainment

We did not have much time for sightseeing, as we bought lots of jewelry, which I alway buy there. The prices are unbelievable.

This was the second time I was there. The first time I swam with the dolphins, which was a once in a lifetime experience and this time I took a tour up to the mountains which is also not to be missed
