Review summary

Good cruise, liked the ship, mainly good service and lovely food.

Didn't enjoy the open dining as it was generally disorganised, had to wait 30 minutes+ for a table and very slow service. Otherwise cabin kept very clean, entertainment good and had a lovely time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was good but open dining wasn't. We invariably had to wait 30 minutes+ and after a while were trying to book in advance to get dinner at a time we wanted. Very irritating as once in the dining room saw many empty tables which suggests disorganisation or lack of staff. Service was very slow. Often missed coffee in order to get to see show/entertainment.
