Wonderful cruise boat! The food was not very hot either on the buffet or the main dining hall. More shows/entertainment would be great, other than the same comedian 4 nights, although he was good...

Very clean and room size for us was perfect. Had to order a coffee pot, none in the room. The door to balcony didn't lock, however. Very nice room

In late May they had a repeating piano comedy show, a cw show, Whitney Houston show, and a disco presentation. Not sure why yours was shorted
