Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Lido buffet was average. Dining room was wonderful. Sad that Blue Iguana Cantina did not have the burrito bowls I loved so much from previous cruises. Steakhouse staff and food was remarkable. Bonsai Sushi staff and experience was great. As usual, I love the stir fry station. Overall very pleased.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Ben at the piano bar was the highlight of the onboard entertainment. One of the comedians at the Punchliner apparently only knew racial jokes so I had to leave in the middle of the show. The Encore shows were great.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Camp Ocean was wonderful as always. The staff had cute nicknames the kids called them. My little one is still talking about Ms. Zebra!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Came across a woman named Ruramasai who serves and tends to various parts of Lido that was truly amazing. She was very attentive. Also Francis and Ganesh in the dining room were awesome.

We did the hop on/hop off tour at this port. Cheap and we got to see many different areas/places. Our favorite was Margaritaville. Spent quite some time swimming in the ocean there.
