Review summary

The service staff was excellent and the dining room food was very good. The specialty restaurant, Giovanni, was outstanding. The buffet was average or less. There was a good mix of age groups and nationalities. This made it difficult to cater to the needs of everyone in the selection of food choices, activities and entertainment. Most activities were suited to the younger passengers.

Great service from Francisco. Lots of cabinet and closet space.

Ship tip

If you get a cabin on the 2nd or 3rd deck make sure to ask for mid-ship to avoid some of the noise of docking. The specialty restaurant package of 3 was a good deal. Giovanni's was our favorite.

For middle age and up you may wish to cruise on the Holland America or the Celebrity cruise lines. Or try taking the cruise during months that kids are supposed to be in school. I too prefer the middle to upper aged groups. They have areas for Adults but I find that they still let the kids in or running through. It's annoying when parents just let the kids run wild.
