Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Somewhat limited variety in Manfredi's, Mamsen, buffet in World Cafe good, but not special, main dining room best choice, but nothing exceptional

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Very few onboard activities day or evening, a few musical shows (good), and ventriloquist and opera (poor). Three trivia in evening. Guitar, piano, classical duo for 45 minutes at certain times. Tea at 4PM (average)

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Average. Beatles songbook and ABBA songbook nights were the best. Did have some great voices!
