The MDR served great food every night. Only did one speciality CATCH by Rudi. Excellent. Best buffer we’ve experienced in a long time

Entertainment

5 out of 5

31 nights and at least 28 good quality acts.

Service and Staff

Everyone was on their game. Smiles all around. Would have been even better with a couple more wait staff in the bars at night.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

Clean and tidy. Only issue is we prefer a door rather than the provided curtain

I was on same cruise, didn't really think that much of the entertainment, only 3 theatre cast shows in 31 nights is really poor, the Echoes were amazing, just in wrong place, didn't understand why they were in the Atrium/Piazza & not Vistas, guest artists were a mix of good & poor, couldn't agree more about staff, they were amazing as usual, disembarkation was chaotic, we were 40 minutes delayed getting off ship & still waiting over an hour for our luggage, but apart from my little moan, overall great cruise.
