Review summary

Favorite part of cruise was variety of food at Windjammer, sinks instead of just sanitizer, bumper cars, optional other complimentary food places besides Windjammer.  Entertainment was ok but felt more comedians, jugglers, and/or magicians would've been nice.  Not everyone is into music and it seemed most of the shows were geared that way.  There should be music and other entertainment every night.  Least favorite part of cruise was limited soft serve and lack of # of machines.  Are you kidding me?  A ship of 5,000 people with usually only one machine open and only open between noon and 5 pm.  Some days the ice cream was even too soft to stay in the cone.  Carnival has soft serve 24/7 and usually has at least 4 machines on their ships that aren't nearly the size of this ship....just sayin!!  Also  anytime dining should mean you don't have to make reservations....at least in our past several cruises, that's what it meant.  We were shocked to find out we still needed to make reservations.  Plus the menu was the same for like 3-4 days in a row.  I don't get it!  For these reasons, I gave you a 4 out of 5.  Far from perfection but just the same, some of the perks were nice.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say they were happy with the variety at the Windjammer. Most complain about the lack thereof. Lol Glad you had a good cruise. We loved the ship.

I agree with u on the soft serve. Maybe they looking out for our health, but let me worry about that. Another reason I didn't like this ship class.
