Ship was great, Staff wonderful, but that does not make an holiday. Food in buffet and restaurants, look warm at best, 2 items off the itinery seemingly Captains discretion so another day at sea. Entertainment hit and miss people just wondering about bored. Overall very poor.

Food was well presented, however I the world Market restaurant by the time you found/reached a table food not very warm. Main restaurants used in evenings occasionally soup not very hot, vegetarian menu was much the same choice a lot with feta cheese which do not like so not enough choice I’m afraid, service was always good.
