Review summary

The toilets in the public areas on decks 5 & 6 worked about 30% of the trip.  Many times we had to go back to our cabin to use the toilet.  Also some problems with the toilets on deck 11 aft.  Never had a problem forward on deck 11 near Park Café.   Entertainment was truly terrible.  We saw a couple of good movies the whole week, but none of the live shows were worth the effort.  Food was not bad but nothing spectacular.  Some people don't cook so would find the food great but it just wasn't up to my standard.  Service, especially in the dining room was very good.

The My Time Dining is pretty much a joke. We didn't get to chose anything. What is the point???

Needs a good quality cleaning. Air fresheners only cover up odors from poor cleaning for a short time. Clean the place properly!!!

Disney knows how to take care of you.

Kids are on the boat but they do have adult

only areas. I did not see any kids being miss behaved 

and making a fuss. Disney is 10 stars.
