Wonderful before and during the cruise service.
It was average compared to others around Australia we have done.
We sat at the bow of the boat which was great but the lighting was dreadful I couldn't see what I was eating, there was music playing inside but no music outside. The food was average and there were so many people lined up that by the time you went to get some food the trays were empty
