THE FOOD Pinnacle Grill and Tamarind are amazing, both in quality of food and service. Main dining room and buffet also had great service, but the food was hit or miss (which is to be expected for mass production). Also to be expected: the buffet area can be a madhouse at times and finding a table for larger groups can be a challenge. The main dining room was just the opposite: most table ...

We missed two ports because the captain chose not to enter because of swells. Received ...

This cruise was picked because of the ports and the length of the cruise. I thought a 21 day trip might be to much but we were ready to continue.

It was a true all inclusive because we had everything we needed to make our celebration all we wanted. Embarkation was ...
