Verdict

– Cruise Passenger

“…We had dinner and breakfast in the buffet bar and our evening meal in the Marco Polo restaurant which was nice. Shows are good although not really long, maybe 40 minutes or so. Bars are good and some good entertainment. The cabins were larger than some we have been on and kept really clean…”
