Review summary

We had fun and saw a lot of beautiful scenery. We were lucky the ship was less than 50% occupied, shorter lines and fewer people. That's why we chose the first cruise of the season.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The people were wonderful and very helpful. The food and drinks were great. The restaurants were very good but Chin Chin's had a lot to be desired. The people working there didn't know what Chinese mustard was, very odd. We enjoyed O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill, don't go there expecting Irish beer or food. Not on the menu.
