The ship is beautiful. Unfortunately, that is the best I have to say about the cruise. The food on the buffet was OK, but the layout left passengers being pushed and shoved trying to get to the food. Once you did get food, finding a place to sit was at times impossible. If you found a seat, the noise level was terrible.

The wait staff in the restaurants was disappointing. We have been on about 15 cruises and this was by far the worst. They didn't have a bar waiter in the restaurant and the waiter claimed he couldn't get cocktails. If you asked for anything other than wine it seemed to be a problem. We were never offered coffee, we did get it if we asked. The food was even more disappointing.
