Review summary

Going here in November it is still part of the rainy season and we did have rain everyday. Most of the time it was just a couple of hours. Which caused it to be really humid. So even though it was 70 degrees it felt much warmer. It was good to see the officers of the ship around the ship and helping out. Most of the other cruises you only see them at the Captains party, or just eating. The food supervisors also assisted in the buffet area. The crew took great care of the passengers.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

There was not a lot of variety from day to day. They would have a special of a main course which would be in the main dinning room and also on the Buffett. Breakfast offering was the same every day, except they did come around with a smoothie of the day at breakfast. The biggest bonus was the ice cream. It was very good. They make it daily, with a special of the day.

Entertainment

The ship has all their own musicians and performers. They were good. They also sign on for a contract like the service personnel does, and stay with the same ship the entire time.

As you leave the port area, you a "attacked" by taxi drivers with deals, and looking through any of the shops the vendors are all over you. This locations was probably the worst. The tour the ship provides in nice and informative.
