All meal venues were very crowded.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Due to weather, most time was spent inside. For a transatlantic, seemed to be a bit lacking in daytime (and night time) activities

Entertainment

Shows were good, not much variety.

Service and Staff

Staff were excellent, a bit understaffed causing some delays.
