Review summary

Very pleasant ship and cruise experience. I Would have appreciated more self service availability in the buffet but it each to their own opinion. Food quality was good and desserts better than on many ships. Not just pretty to look at but taste great. On a smaller ship the entertainment was still good but limited.

5 out of 5

balcony cabin on 5th floor not far from elevators. No noise from elevator and high enough to not deal with rear drive lines

Ship tip

At busy times the buffet can be hard to find a table . We enjoyed most dinners in the dining room. Very nice but don't sit on the 2nd level in the very back. Ships drive line can be very noisy
