Review summary

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was rarely hot, even in the dining rooms. Dining closes at 930p with only one option for food which is often very crowded after 930p. Local Bar and Pub offers same menu items nightly and opens at 6p with its limited and boring menu.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were Clean.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Children's Programs

no children

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean and always supplied appropriately.

Ship tip

take fruit or dessert to room for nighttime snacking. sustainable drinks are only offered at Topside Bar not throughout ship.
