Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

They had shortages of some food items because the cruise was extended. Some dining rooms were not in operation as they are in the process of being moved.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We could not access Park 19 as much of it was being dismantled due to the fact that the construction and operation of it apparently wouldn't pass inspection.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Service and Staff
