Food and Dining

No restaurants on board. Breakfast was nasty, so went slept in to enjoy lunch at off the grill .. burgers and cheese fries we're delicious. But to eat it every day. .. did get old.

Entertainment

You have to pay for bingo the games in the casino,as well as arcade had glitches, such as in the middle of the money valuta game there was times when the lift didn't even open to pick up money. So we just wasted $$

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

Camp carnival is good, however they asked for children's allergies . However they don't feed th e kids and they don't mention to you that they dont feed them. Drop your child off at 10 am an pick them up by 5pm. My 11 year old said l was calling you because I was hungry. ..they don't feed us. That was her first and last time there. She dud enjoy activities in the camp.

Really small for 4 people. . And very hot at night. Bathroom smelled or urine. An smell wouldn't go away.

Ship tip

Bring shower shoes, and clorox wipes to wipe bathroom down before your family uses it. I Don think they mop floors in bathroom ever.

bingo definitely not cheap for $20 u get a book of 3 sheets with 3 cards on each. . the one day I went I bought the $30 and total price awarded was $500 broken into 3 games... where I play bingo back home I pay the $26 minimum and have 10 games with 24 cards for each game with chance to win over $2000 with in those 10 games. . did it once and it was enough for me. .it should be cheaper if the payout is only $500 total I understand the $20-$40 package only of the prizes are high or a cruise .. other than that too pricey

Skyrerider Haha... I travel every 3 months out of everywhere I've been this was my first cruise. And I'm stating from my experience. It was NOT worth the hype. I will see the comparison in Dec when l go on a different cruise line. Once again my experience My THOUGHTS.

Tatted: Get out a little more. Many places you pay 1 admission fee to get inside. For Bingo. And Have Multiple Winners hey I'm just saying.

Combatmom Correct deck plan shows a few as we thought as well. And were highly disappointed. The restaurants Will not come a board the ship until 2016 as I was told by the crew!! Its has to become at least 2.9 before they can even have the restaurants. Don't believe everything you read.

I find it odd you say there's only 1 restaurant when the deck plans show quite a few options other than steak, like sushi and Mongolian....and yes you pay for bingo so they can have prizes like trips and money but it's cheap bingo.
