East meets West was so very great. Order off the complimentary menu or pay extra for sushi. The regular buffet had many good options all day. The main dining rooms were very good.

Great room. Huge balcony. Very comfortable bed.
Ship tip
Pay extra for a balcony room You can enjoy sitting there with your morning coffee and evening wine.
Rented a car for 2 days for less than the cost of one excursion on the ship. The rental car companies have transport to and from the ship. Very easy! We saw so many places and had so many experiences that the freedom of a car gave.
