Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Unimpressed with the MDR service was too slow for having two kids; ended up at Windjammer 4 of the nights. Chops and Giovannis were both worth the cost of admission.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Small ship so less activities onboard.

Casino Royale

4 out of 5

Very small, smoky, and busy. I hit a royal flush on VP for $1000. Made Prime status and came home with more money than I left with.
