Review summary

Very disappointing. The food was mediocre at best. Food at main dining always tasted as though it was cooked hours ago and kept under a warming lamp. Portions were extremely small and the shrimp cocktail was a joke (baby shrimp)and no lobster night had to pay for it if we wanted it. The price changed from day to day from $16 to $24 did it cost different taking it out of the freezer?

Beautiful little town but with three ships in port the whole experience was waiting in line. When arriving in port we waited in line almost an hour to get onto cable car. After eating and shopping we waited in line well over an hour to get back on cable car to get back down
