Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I have a special diet and am gluten free. The wait staff and the cooks did an amazing job making sure I had the food I needed to stick with my dietary needs. Phillips, I Kadek, and Jumu; hopefully I spelled his name correct; were AMAZING in making sure I had a menu for the next day to pre-order my meals.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We tried to play shuffleboard. It appeared the pucks would not move down the playing area no matter how hard we tried. Might need some maintenance.

Service and Staff

My steward was amazing. Knew our names from the beginning. Addressed us by name often. Stopped what he was doing and had real conversations with us. We were on Empress in room 240. I am not sure of his name but hopefully this helps him get the recognition he deserves.
