Review summary

This was a great vacation. We loved everything about the ship. Our favorites were Ben in Sam's Piano Bar, Feliks and crew at Alchemy (they make the best drinks), the aft pool on the Lido deck, the 24 hour pizzeria, and the ice cream!!! 100% a great trip!!

Food and Dining

Omg. Where to start. Guys Burger was great. The buffett was just a buffet. The pizza place was beyond wonderful. The MDR was my favorite. Our waiter, Mel, made the excellent experience even more amazing. Funny, friendly and 100% aware of our requests.

Onboard Activities

We used the spa which was good but overpriced. The pools were nice. The aft pool was never crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I wish I could give this 10 stars. We went to the rock show which was excellent. We absolutely LOVED Ben Gentry in the piano bar. Honestly that was the highlight of our trip. We were there every night. He knew our name and engaged the audience the entire time. Funny, talented, amusing.. I dont know what other things I can say!!!
