Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Hasbro game show was fun for all ages. My wife was called on stage to play. Always so kind of trivia or board type game going on. The fitness center had something for everyone

Entertainment

5 out of 5
There was some kind of issue with the stage and equipment for the epic rock show and the performers still came out on stage and sang the songs to the show. I thought that was pretty cool
