Drinks was excellent, dress code for dinning, casual, shorts, shirt, excellent, food was ok. All other cruise lines we have been on always had offered to set us up with table of 6 or 8 people, which got us to meet other people on the ship, we sat by ourselfs every nite.

Entertainment

Entertainment was fair, no broad way type shows. The Attrium area was nice but all the events got over crowded requiring folding chairs plus many standup areas, very crowe and noisy

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward was good but over worked making up rooms was delayed one day to 2:30 and most other days between 11am-1pm. Waiter staff was good, other staff very helpful
