Review summary

Scenic! Not much else. Theater shows were boring. Great band in the lounge. Service was great and food was excellent. Excursion were very expensive.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Terrible! We stood in a queue for over two hours waiting to go through customs. Three cruise ships were trying to board through the same stations.
