Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Great variety at the buffet. Main dining room is lovely. Observation lounge is a nice quiet place to eat and relax. Never tried the specialty restaurants because they cost extra.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The live shows and interactive entertainment. The jacuzzi. Never did the pool due to the small size, over crowding or temperature outside. Kids did the speedway, galaxy room, water slides etc. Goid fun.

Clean cabin but snug. Space where the main bed ended and the wall is very small.
