Review summary

The ship was huge with every amenity one could expect or ask for. But many of the passengers were rather rude in the buffet food/dining areas. They would push and shove and cut in line to get food, even though it was a buffet. In addition, the cruise staff never hesitated to try to get passengers to pay for something or buy something extra. This got to be annoying at times when it was unclear if a certain amenity was required for purchase or not.

The food quality was fine... lots of fresh fruit and fresh food, but the ambiance was poor in the areas where the food was buffet style-- long lines and other passengers were extremely rude.

If the medieval festival had not being going on the day we went, the town would have been boring and small.
