Bartenders were helpful and professional
Main Dining Room
Excellent service, food was always beautifully prepared. Wait staff were incredibly busy, but still took the time to ensure each guest was happy with their meal.

Onboard Activities
Entertainment
Pacifica Theatre
we attended one show, which was a review of broadway hits — most of which was excellent except for one number. While it seemed that most in the audience thoroughly enjoyed the male stripper routine, judging by the whooping and hollering, my husband and I found it in poor taste — especially given the #metoo movement that is currently so prevalent.
Art Gallery
I enjoyed the art gallery, and the opportunity to bid on works of art accompanied by free champagne.

Ship tip
If you are a little introverted, it is worth spending the extra money for a balcony stateroom. The BOGO deal for the specialty restaurants was totally worth it, as well as the non-alcoholic beverage packet.
