Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food and drinks were good. I was surprised at the upcharges in the dining room and the fact that the buffet closed at 9 p.m., with only sandwiches available after hours. The cruise offered room service, but again, there were upcharges for restaurants that were free during the day.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin was a bit smaller than I was used to. One of the beds that we had to use was right above the main bed. Several times, we hit our heads on the bed. I felt like a giant using the very tight shower/tub.
