Ship experiences

MDR food was really good. Windjammer was the usual. Park Cafe was the favorite lunch spot.

Izumi

Pricey but very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Not a ton to do but this is a smaller ship so was as expected. We mostly relaxed and read. Pickleball was a lot of fun. No lines for anything.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Stage shows were on the cheesy side but if you like that, you’ll be happy. Singers in small venues were meh.

5 out of 5
