Review summary

Nothing spectacular. First cruise we’ve ever been on that only had one feature act on the main stage. And it only played twice, both times no seating.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Average selection in main dining room, specialty restaurants not great. Hard to get reservations. La Cucuna had poor Italian cuisine. Only thing good at Q was the dessert. Couldn’t get a reservation at Carson’s. Buffet closed too early. Ran out of bacon at breakfast.
