Main dining room was always a 1-2 hour wait. Food was always lukewarm and only fair in taste. The buffet was better. The specialty restaurants were good

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There were 2 shows only for 10 days. No comedy, a lot of karokee, bingo and some other games. Always activity area had no seating and was overcrowded. Gym was nice, pools were overcrowded. I felt better in my cabin than trying to fight for a seat somewhere.
