Excellent

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The daily buffet is beyond expectation, a much better experience than most cruises. The special restaurants are excellent especially the French restaurant "Le Bistro" - super! The Asian foods are in general very poor especially the Chinese cuisine. The Teppanyaki restaurant is a disaster. In general, most foods are too salty and it is not healthy especially for seniors.

Onboard Activities

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin is comfortable and the only shortness is the location of the TV which is very inconvenient to watch while siting on the couch. You have to twist your neck. A bad design.
