Review summary

The ship itself is stunning but we were disappointed in the quality of the food and the dining experience in the MDR. Bar service tended to be slow. Found the entertainment to be a bit sedate, dated and uninspiring.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very efficient embarkation.

It's valuable to have opinions but they are only that. Subjective opinions. One person will be bored, while others will call it relaxing. You have to try these things for yourself, and do your research beforehand.

Food and entertainment are important on any cruise. Sad when they don’t measure up
