Main dining room was great with the exception of our location. We were seated right under the a/c. We were all very cold. Buffet was fine. Loved the Deli. Maitre d was the absolute best.. the best wait staff ever.

Didn't do a lot of activities but what we did were fine

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We like the quarter machine, which on this ship wasn't that good..The tokens and $20 bills barely moved in 14 days, unlike other ships. We love the juggler/comedian, he was awesome. Other shows we had seen before so didn't do that many.

Children's Programs

We had no children with us
