Review summary

Ship-board activities and food were OK. Burger grill was really good and when on-board we ate there several times. Late night snack offerings fair, pizza and deli. Kids loved the availability of ice cream. Menu and quality of food in dining room was fair. Had to pay extra for internet to log into our flight home. Felt that was excessive and unwarranted for what we paid for the cruise. Staff pleasant and helpful. We made excursion reservations privately and enjoyed all of them. Remnants of 2017 hurricanes were obvious. Pray this years' hurricane season is less devastating.

Excellent waiters and houskeepers. Waiters very busy and didnt have time to converse with us. One waiter did provide manipulative games for children; these were a big hit with the kids
