Food and Dining

3 out of 5

breakfast was the only good meal lots of variety and good quality

Entertainment

1 out of 5

very little info on excursions unless you already knew about them one show a night no choice and very high schoolish and short guess you thought everyone wanted to sit at bar and drink and dance on postage size floor

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

dining room and buffet staff very friendly crew helped with directions actually taking you there rather than pointing in a direction all crew spoke to you in passing

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Perhaps if you were more literate and knew basic grammar you would have been taken more seriously. ENUF?? You are an adult and don't know how to spell or use capital letters. What has America come to? Very, very sad. So glad not to have met you>
