Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Restaurants were clean although crowded spacing. Declined food quality from previous cruses. Soups were very salty, cannot drink.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Spa charges were greatly over-prized

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Only 2 production shows compared to Boardway type shows in previous cruises. Other nights only comedy talk shows from same person ...

Dizzy ship layouts with limiting direction guidance.
