The illuminated bridges and palaces were spectacular, and stepping onto the open deck between courses was a highlight. The cruise offered plenty of lively entertainment, but dinner was basic banquet food rather than fine dining. Tight seating, very loud music and intrusive photo sellers made conversation difficult. The experience worked better as a floating party than as a quiet romantic dinner.
