Food and Dining

Was not to impressed with the food, seems as if they were only serving India food the whole time, desserts were bland. Spent most of our time on deck 11 at park cafe.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not enough entertainment or was to boring. Went to casino, however they were letting people smoke every where in the casino and it set of my husbands COPD. After that he wasn’t able to do anything.
