Review summary

Will avoid large ships in the future despite great food and service. A few spoiled and rude guests really ruined the dining experienced on a few nights. No fault of the cruise line.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. It seems that many people have forgotten how to act in public. Sorry you had a group on your sailing. Glad you enjoyed your cruise in spite them.
