Review summary

For me food is a BIG Deal. Mediocre doesn't do it. Also, we tried to reserve our dining room 3 days before from home, no availability. On the app, no availability. From our room TV, no availability. At guest services, no availabilty. In person at dining room. Had to do on a daily basis. It was a huge hassle.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools and hot tubs good. Adult pool only had 10 lounge chairs. (do you think there were more than 10 adults who wanted to use them?) Excersise activities were fee paid.
