Review summary

I was really disappointed in the food on this cruise. I expected a better variety and at least some seafood choices. Some of the food in the dining room was not edible. The service in the dining room was not great either. We had any time seating so we had a difference waiter each night...we had great service only 1 night with Orlando. I was so looking forward to trying new foods but the choices were close to the same each night. The food was not seasoned well and had no taste.

Our pool waiter Julio was fab. He was always around when we needed a drink.

The build a bear workshop was a fun experience for the children and the camps were great too. Our 3 year old really enjoyed the camp and asked to go every day.

We saw 3 shows while on board and they were just ok.

The bunk bed was over the King bed and hard to get around in the room. My daughter almost knocked herself out one night misjudging the distance and hitting her head on the bunk. She hit it so hard it knocked her down.
