Really nice buffet, great entertainment and a generally good evening on the boat. Didn't really see that much of the city from the boat, as the meal & dancers proved better attractions, but there was a good viewing deck atop. Sometimes difficult to get a waiter for drinks, but that was a minor issue

The food was perfect, the staff was incredibly helpful, you can eat as much food as your stomach can hold, and the dances were also spectacular.
