My wife and I have been on over 100 cruises and the production show entertainment on this ship was in the top 10 that we have ever seen. Unfortunately, that's where it ends.

The ship itself was dated. Overall, the food was below average. One night, I was served salmon that was gray. Another night, I selected swordfish and it was unrecognizable. In the main dining room, eggs benedict was only available on Monday mornings. If you wanted black pudding with scrambled eggs, it was available only on Thursdays,etc..
