Food was fabulous as was the service and experience

The Café @ Two70

3 out of 5

Food was great! The problem was seating! There are constantly events being held in Two70, therefore there is never seating available during lunch time!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Everything on ship was clean! Staff constantly cleaning common areas! Not a fan of the ship layout! Did not “flow” like the Oasis class of ships

Great cabin! Plenty of room and storage space!

Ports of call

Bay Of Islands, New Zealand

Visited the glow worm caves and Kahuri forest! Nice excursion, but no food(other than chips to purchase)! By the time we were back on ship at 3pm, we were starving!

I agree, the flow of the ship felt disconjointed. No areas to just hang out and drink coffee or drinks. Bars are over crowded. Prefer the Oasis Or Freedom Class more..
