I did not see one hand-pay the entire week. I played a LOT - - and only had one night when I came away a winner. The ship and its crew, however, were stellar! The entertainment was okay to good; same with the food. The ship's passengers were predominately Europeans, with quite a few passengers from South America as well. U.S. folks made up about 30-40% - which I LOVED (but not everyone does). Announcements are made in 4 languages (English, Italian, French, Spanish). Tons of activity choices. In spite of the casino sucking up my money and giving me almost no "play time," I can't wait to go again!
