Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We didn’t use any of the pay restaurants. The main dining room and as food. Become my daughter has celiac disease I was a bit nervous but our waiter as great and always tried to give her some options. One night she said she just wanted watermelon and he brought her a huge plate! Food was ok. Nothing really amazing. A few nights we ate in the windjammer if the menu didn’t have anything we were oooking for. (Dinner menu can be viewed on the tv) we also enjoyed having breakfast and lunch at the 270 cafe. They had gluten free bread so my daughter could get pvand j. They have egg sandwiches for breakfast and wraps for lunch. Definitely a favorite place for us.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We loved IFly and wished we could go a second time but they were booked solid. North Star was fun. The kids pool was nice and we never went in the outdoor pool. For the size of the ship I felt it was small and crowded. The indoor pool area as nice and so was the solarium. The gym has a lot of nice equipment.

Ship tip

The beds are hard. It felt like we were sleeping on the ground. Our room steward tried to add some fluff with an extra blanket but it didn’t help much. We loved the balcony and spent lots of time out there. We had rain
