Scenery was very nice especially looking from the boat. That's all I have to say. It was really nothing special.

We had a very good experience because we were with family and friends and because the ship itself is something different. However, the service was generally poor. they did not have a table ready for us, the food was little and spicy (our children could not eat it) and our waitress did not attend us at all. The bar manager had to come to attend to my complaints. We also didn't have the play area available for the youth. They had nothing. The DJ was very good and we were able to dance and have fun.

We had such an awesome time. Our waitress Aniya and her assistant were incredible. They were so attentive and full of energy and smiles. Anita danced with us and she really made the day a joyous one. I can't say enough about how positive her attitude was. Thumbs up!!! We will come again with more family members.
