Music was good dancers were good food was ordinary could have been better better organised at time of buffet, have people going in one direction not all over the place bumping each other
Very good atmosphere, the buffet was very good and I loved the mussels 👍 Nice cultural exchange 🙏💞
Excellent trip with spectacular views from the ship onto the river and surrounding areas with laser imagery. Entertainment was great with two singers and three Thai dancers and the food was first class
