Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We were initially placed at a table for 2 which is not what we prefer. however after speaking to the concierge he placed us at a larger table in the middle of the dining room which was perfect for the entertainment. we always have a great experience in the dining rooms

We had a spa cabin so we got to use the fitness center as well as all the spa facilities like the sauna, steam rooms and hot tubs. we even played mini golf and used the water slides that was such fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

We did 2 back to back cruises and my wife talked me into getting interior cabins for the first time, I've always had balconies or Ocean view previously and i must say i was pleasantly surprised clean and comfortable with plenty of closet space.
