Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The specialty dining is worth the cost. Lots of options for the buffet, so your bound to find something you like. Breakfast burrito at Blues is so good and Seaday Brunch was yummy. Omlet station was always good and staff there went above and beyond. Late night Pizza was really good too! Try the Chipotle drink at the Alchemy Bar as well as the Sidecar.😋

Most of the staff were very friendly. Casino bar was hit and miss and the staff in the MDR also hit and miss.

Very nice. The room was a bit warm so we did ask for a fan. Otherwise perfect. Jason was great!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We always chose self assist and are off the ship quickly. We don't recommend Go Port. Wait times we're close to an hour or longer for some. There was only one bus making multiple trips.

Great Ship

There must be a seasoning shortage.
