Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was great. I marked milk (dairy) allergy via Medallion App before my trip. But none of the menu or display marked them clearly. I can enjoy Almond milk free only at breakfast. Also enjoyed afternoon tea while at sea. Nice to have hand sanitizer at every entry way.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I enjoyed jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, line dance.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The thing upset me was when the final evening performance Colors of the World using animation implying China invaded Japan with dragon spewing fires over structures in Japan. The real history was Japan invaded China several times in history.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The waiters at Da Vinci provided great service every night and performed entertaining singing on my birthday.
