Review summary

WiFi runs very bad. Cut off last day despite having paid. WiFi manager not very ready to help except after insisting. Excursions are much too expensive compared to private vans with better individual service

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Buffet used to be much better; Moderno and Cagney are excellent. I wish non-salted butter Reservations not managed efficiently. Often restaurants are indicated as full and while inside you see a lot of empty tables.

WiFi is always spotty and not worth the price on any ship, in my opinion. Ship excursions are almost always more expensive, more crowded and last a shorter duration than independent excursions. Booking highly rated independent excursions ahead of time will usually give you a better experience.
