Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Alchemy Bar
Wonderful! They ask what I want, I normally get a spicy chipotle pineapple martini. Which is great, but! They are mixologists! So I tell them strong, refreshing and not too sweet. And BAAAAM!! They do their magic. Another person asked for what I got and said it was tooo much. They did good.
The Chic Restaurant
We had one small issue on elegant night however Harris the matre de got it handled and every waiter, waitress, host and hostess did a spectacular job
Redfrog Pub
Held some of our own events here. Staff was great drinks stayed strong
Blue Iguana Cantina
Love my Mexican food. No hot salsas 😔 and no tortilla chips otherwise 5 star
Scott's Piano Bar
Ben was our pianist!! Dude is a beast!! Way to go Ben
Pizza Pirate
This place gets a lot of mixed reviews. They were slow, but they were understaffed but that had nothing to do with the flavor and convenience. Which was top shelf
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
This was amazing. We paid the cheaper amount but it is worth the 4 dollars extra. The dessert where the chef does art was not our thing. Should’ve gotten the cheesecake
International Aft Lounge
Great shows. A little on the cold side at night. I recommend a hoodie or pants. Preferably lots of whiskey will get you warm
Guy's Burger Joint
Delightful. Just needs onion rings imo
Deli
Everything I have tried was great. Wish they had chips.

Ship tip
Go to the very front of deck 6,7 or 10. Take exit doors. You will not regret it
