Food and Dining

Food was good - lots of choices in the buffets, though there were repeats. Fine dining food was good too

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Solarium was the place to be, as was the hot tubs! A little too cold to enjoy the outdoor pool. Fitness center and rock climbing would have been great to do but no time. Enjoyed the mini golf
