This was a very nice Dinner Cruise! The food was good and the Service was Great! The entertainment was very good! Any celebrations were acknowledged and some were called up front! You could walk around, take pictures and just enjoy the outside! Definitely, check this cruise out!

We went on a dinner sunset cruise with a fireworks show. It was outstanding. There was a show on board and a band playing. The meal was a buffet. It was delicious. We bought a package that had a photo included. It had a wonderful book frame and had the date included on the photo. The bus that picked us up from our hotel was their sister company, Royal Star. Cindy, our driver was very entertaining.

A moderate 10 min wait to board but they put on a show and sing while you wait! Leigh’s were not included you had to buy…for the price they should throw these in when you board. Food was mediocre…if you’ve ever been on a carnival cruise it’s on par with that. Entertainmen...
