Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Scott's Piano Bar
We enjoyed our entertainer, Felicia, very much. The drinks there are great! Try the Spicy Diva!
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
Best steaks around! The staff is very attentive and kind. We enjoyed our experience, and the extra charge it costs to eat there is so worth it.
The Chic Restaurant
Great menu, delicious food, amazing staff. They worked hard to give us a classy experience every time.
Lido Marketplace
Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s a buffet. The food was fresh and well-prepared. Great when you want something quick.
Guy's Burger Joint
Nothing special about the burgers here. Sorry, Guy!
70's Dance Club
A fun spot! Different kinds of music each night.
Swingtime Jazz Bar
I never saw anyone in here.
Redfrog Pub
We called this place the Dead Frog. Not much happening here. Just taking up space on the ship.
Habana Cigar Bar
Daily Karaoke was fun to watch. This place fills up fast!
JavaBlue Cafe
The ladies here were able to accommodate me with almond milk, as I am not able to have dairy. The Mexican spiked coffee is the best!
Alchemy Bar
Zora and Jea are amazing bartenders! Watching them is a great show in itself. They know their stuff and they are very engaging. A nightly stop for us.
Onboard Activities
Photo Gallery
If someone asks to take your photo, do it! If it’s a bad photo you can dispose of it. We didn’t know they would be available to see and purchase until after the second day.
Serenity
Nice area. Quiet and sunny!
Mini Golf
Lacking in excitement here.
Timeless Pool and whirlpools
Busy spot!
Babylon Casino
This is a smoking area. Not pleasant.
Entertainment
Victoriana Theater
Lots of space and seating. The waitstaff does a great job making sure drinks are easily ordered.
The Millennium Lobby Bar
This is a hopping joint. Always packed and something going on. I wish there was more seating. Lots is music, fun, and games.

Ship tip
Be prepared to walk! It takes a few days to figure out where you’re going and the best route to get there.
