Orlando was amazing as our Waiter, we loved Ian as well. However the costs of drinks across the board on top of the cost of the cruise is excessive. Orlando is worth every penny though!

Entertainment

Highly disappointed that the Lip Sinc Battle did not happen. While the shows in the Mikado Lounge were good, the guys need better training- they were competing and trying too hard. The ladies were amazing! I would like to say that Cam did an awesome job though! Great personality for this position

Again, Orlando is the best! Sidon was our room steward and he was great!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

More than 1 pool would be better and the casino should be at one end or the other so people who do not smoke do not have to walk through it. Also, finding the intrance to the Inspiration Dining area was a challenge
