Ship overall was good however at times some of the public areas seemed overcrowded. Food was acceptable varied selection to choose from depending on what time you choose to eat it could be busy. Entertainment was varied from acrobats , stage show , music. Cabin was sufficient for our needs small but compact very comfortable bed.

If you decided to visit the onboard shopping mall be careful the prices advertised are not what they seem 21% tax was added to our purchase despite the fact that I asked the person working in the store twice what the exact price was he never mentioned the 21% tax add on. There excursion trips are expensive if you are prepared to go it alone you will save a fortune. Staff were overall very pleasant only down side on that point was most of them only seem to have a basic knowledge of the English language.

Some of the ports the ship docked at are quite a journey away from tourist sites be prepared to travel
