Review summary
Second cruise overall (first was Disney, 10 years hence), but first cruise for the two of us, by ourselves. Disney experience was better, overall, but more costly. Good experience we’ll likely repeat.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Scott's Piano Bar
Went the last night. Wished we had gone sooner. Elizabeth was great.
Lido Marketplace
Good selections and reasonable wait times, generally.
The Chic Restaurant
Our server if choice was Leonardo. Very attentive and good.
The Posh Restaurant
Good sea-day buffets.
Guy's Burger Joint
Best. Burgers. Ever.
Onboard Activities
Guest Services / Shore Excursions
Not real impressed with these services. Availability was an issue, especially for Shore Excursions. Guest Services did knock off some charges, in response to my complaint.
Serenity
Our favorite part.
Mini Golf
Be ready for wind blown balls. What do you expect, on the top deck?

Cabin / Stateroom
Ship tip
Don’t expect a chapel, chaplain or Sunday service; be ready for three CNN Chanel’s but no Fox News; be prepared for the hard sell, as regards onboard marketing/sales.
Ports of call
Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
