Review summary

Loved the dive in theater except unless you got there really early which was hard when coming from dining room the seating wasn't great. Very hard to see and got very sore neck from sitting along side pool. Elevators always seemed to jump from 6 to 8 or 8 to 6 missing 7th deck. Ended up taking stairs a lot which was hard due to physical disabilities.

Embarkation

I thought it was quick and organized. But I noticed that people who didn't pay for faster to fun got on just as fast. Not sure I'll waist my money on "faster to fun" again.

Food and Dining

I thought they were good. I think some waiters may have been new and didn't give the same service as others.

Went to hip strip and shopping, most people very friendly. Margaritaville...Not impressed with the service at the restaurant. Waitresses not too friendly. Charging 18% gratuity automatically and then expecting more. Not cool.
