Review summary

SHIP HAD PROBLEMS FROM CRUISE BEFORE THIS. GASTRO VIRUS REQUIRED CLEANUP SO SAILED LATER IN DAY.  MOTOR PROBLEM ALSO.  WAS TOLD SHIP TO GO TO DRY DOCK TO ADD 40 CABINS AND FIX MOTORS, MOST LIKELY IN SPRING.  OTHER PROBLEMS WERE ROUGH SEAS SO THAT MANY OF AQUASHOWS WERE CANCELLED. PROBLEM AS NO NOTICE GIVEN TO THOSE WITH RESERVATIONS AS TO CHANGES AND NEW DATES.

FOOD WAS GOOD.  OUR DININGROOM WAITER & ASST. WERE EXCELLENT.  OTHER SHOWS, I.E. CHICAGO AND BLUE PLANET WERE VERY GOOD.  

THE BOARDWALK CHANGED TO ADD A HOT DOG STAND AND THE DONUT SHOP BECAME A COUNTER WITH SELF-SERVICE TRAYS.  THE DREAMWORLD CHARACTERS WERE AROUND TO INTERACT WITH GUESTS.

Good to know that you enjoyed the food, service and shows.  Sorry to hear that you had rough seas to deal with.  I hope that you didn't come down with the norovirus.
