The food was generally good both in the dining room and windjammer. Unfortunately ports are quite away from places we wanted to visit although Rome was well worth the trip. We found using taxis in Nice was a lot cheaper than the shops excursion. We liked the shows in the promenade. Staff are very friendly and helpful
