The crew were all great, the ship was in good condition and clean. I felt like there just wasn't enough to do...that might be partly because it was such a port intensive cruise. only one sea day. The shops were only open in the evening, the water slide had very limited hours, it was hard to find a quiet lounge to sit and have a drink and visit. Even the piano player was amplified. There just didn't seem to be many activities that were of interest to us.. and yes that is entirely subjective.

We also only had one show that involved the singers and dancers.. the premier of "City of Dreams"...the costumes were amazing, the sets were great, the talent was there..but the story line was abysmal. The other entertainers were solo types, a comedian/juggler, a comedian/trumpet player, a comedian/magician.. they were good, but not what we expected. We much preferred The Navigator of the Seas.

And the food, well it was not terrible by any means, but especially breakfast and lunch was same old same old, no changes day to day and that got old, again to be fair that might just be because it is a smaller (although not small) ship. We did like that there was a lot of natural light and sea views throughout. so.. pros and cons as with any ship.
