Review summary

Our cruise experience was pleasant but the food was not good enough. Traveling with a young child, we dined at the main dining room only twice; while the food was decent, it wasn't worth the long wait. The buffet offered very limited Asian food options, mostly with curry rice and steamed rice that tasted bad. The ship was very clean, maintained by the friendly and hardworking staffs who worked 12 hours per day. Our balcony ocean view room was spacious and in great location, with no unpleasant smells in the bathroom.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Traveling with a young child, we only dined at the main dining room twice during the trip. While the food was okay, it wasn't worth the long wait. I noticed that over 80% of the cruise passengers were white. The buffet had very limited Asian food options, mostly offering curry rice. The steamed rice and congee tasted very bad.

The balcony ocean view room was very clean and spacious. I have no complaints. I was concerned the bathroom might have a bad smell, but it didn't at all.
