Review summary

Thee cruise was overall good, The stops were ok, but I would avoid many of them in the future, The food was good and the special restaurant "Cagney's " was excellent! What made the cruise worthwhile was the high quality of entertainment on board!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food taste and quality was uneven. The buffet was good and the best place for breakfast. Thee breakfast at the the other restaurants was not so good. They were slpw and messed up the orders both times we used them. The specialty restaurant "Cagney's" was top notch in service and food quality! I would rate that 6 stars!

The excursion was a disaster! we boarded a catamaran that was more like a large overcrowded ferry. Sat on folding chair! Visited a beach that was dirty and did not even have enough chairs to rent for the size of the passengers!
