The food in the main dining room was good.

There were a couple of comedy shows that were very good but nothing else other than trivia games and gambling which we don't like to do.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

There was a carribean group that was pretty good and the female singer Darla was very good. The DJ was not good and the other performers were just okay.

Sounds like you liked everything except for some of the entertainment which of course is optional to attend. No matter how much I liked a cruise, I Ilan always considering other cruise lines. Price and itinerary/timing are my biggest factors. Cruise lines aren’t that much different to want to pay or get less.
