Review summary

Cruise was good, but caters to older clientele. Food was fine and staff was excellent, they went out of their way to be pleasant and friendly. Probably wouldn’t go on this line again unless itinerary was only one that matched my particular needs.

Food was good, but slow delivery in main dining room. Buffet food was very good. Drinks were pricy.
