The food (lamb) was really good!! I would say the most notable thing was the customer service. Each and every staff member was so kind and accommodating. It felt homey and up-scale. A very chilled environment in that people are not coming and going, you had a fixed amount of time to slow down and enjoy your meal and cruise.
Wonderful time
