Very few negatives on this cruise. The ship was clean and quiet. Service throughout was outstanding. Food was fine, both in the cafeteria and dining room. The only negatives I have to report are a lack of on board activities compared to other cruise lines, and the music in the lounge they call "BB King." King was a blues musician. The music in this lounge, played and sung at an excruciating volume, was by and large not blues at all.

We were impressed with the library on board, which had a good variety of books available in a very comfortable setting which also had a great ocean view. There was also a coffee bar available. One highlight was the duo called "Allegro," a pianist and violinist from Ukraine who played mostly classical music, but also some show tunes. These were the best musicians I've ever heard or seen on board a cruise ship.
